I am sorry he went away before I could pay him for the watch; I am dreading every moment to meet the individual from whom it was stolen." I never heard what became of the girls, but Pocchini will re-appear on the scene in due course.
When I entered the room I was accosted by the scoundrelly Pocchini, dressed in a military uniform, who said he had the honour of introducing me to his daughters. "Indeed," said I, "I remember two other daughters of yours robbing me of a snuff-box and two watches at Stuttgart." "You lie!" said the impudent rascal.
In November, 1831, there was a strenuous rivalry between the two theatres of Milan, La Scala and the Carcano. The composers were Bellini, Donizetti, and Majocchi. At the Scala, which was still under the direction of Crivelli, then a very old man, were Giulietta Grisi, Amalia Schütz, and Pisaroni, with Mari, Bonfigli, Pocchini, Anbaldi, etc.
I saw that I could do nothing, and resolved to depart in peace, and afterwards to publish the whole story and to hang Pocchini with my own hands when next I met him. I did neither the one nor the other. About that time a young lady of the Salis de Coire family arrived at Vienna without any companion. The imperial hangman Schrotembach, ordered her to leave Vienna in two days.
One of the two Sclavs broke in, and said we must make friends, and so made me sit down, opened a bottle, and said we must drink together. I tried to put as good a face upon it as I could, but I begged to be excused, on which Pocchini swore that I was afraid of having to pay for the bottle of wine. "You are mistaken," said I; "I am quite ready to pay."

"Very good, I will fight to the last drop of my blood; but I warn you your friend is a thief. But go; I will await you." In the course of a quarter of an hour they all came out, but the Englishman and Pocchini followed me alone. There were a good many people about, and I went before them till we reached Hyde Park. Pocchini attempted to speak to me, but I replied, lifting my cane,
I went in, I went upstairs, and when I found myself in the presence of the wretch Pocchini my blood froze in my veins. A feeling of false shame prevented my retracing my steps, as it might have looked as if I had been afraid. In the same room were his pretended wife, Catina, two Sclavonic-looking assassins, and the decoy-duck.
"If not, I shall leave; for what can I do in a town where I can only drive, and where the Government keeps assassins in its pay?" "You are right. We are all sure that Pocchini has calumniated you. The girl who recites Latin verses is well known, but none know her address.
