Caesar sprang upon the riderless horse, pressed with fervour the hand of the count and the sbirro; then all three galloped to the frontier of Navarre, where they arrived three days later, and were honourably received by the king, Jean d'Albret, the brother of Caesar's wife.
When the whole world had abandoned the Duke of Romagna he had been remembered by a sbirro. The prison where he had been shut up for two years was so hateful to Caesar that he lost not a single moment: the same day he attacked one of the bars of a window that looked out upon an inner court, and soon contrived so to manipulate it that it would need only a final push to come out.
"Why, Melema, what evil dream did you have last night, that you took my light grasp for that of a sbirro or something worse?" "Ah, Messer Niccolo!" said Tito, recovering himself immediately; "it must have been an extra amount of dulness in my veins this morning that shuddered at the approach of your wit. But the fact is, I have had a bad night."
The discharged and unpunished criminal is a sbirro the police has only to hand him a dagger, and tell him, 'Strike there! and he will strike." "Your excellency believes, then, that even the ringleaders should not be punished?" "By no means. Of course some of them should be chastised, in order to increase the terror of the others. But for God's sake, no public trials no public penalties!

He managed to beat off the man who was attacking him, and to join his friends; but, bravely as they fought, the struggle was too unequal, and the Sbirri must unfailingly have had the best of it, had not two men suddenly burst, with loud shouts, into the ranks of the young fellows, one of whom immediately floored the Sbirro who was taxing Antonio the hardest.
"What a lovely creature she must have been," exclaimed one of the sbirri. "Cease your profane remarks, my man," cried the lieutenant. "This must be examined into directly. Does any one know who dwells in that mansion?" "Signor Wagner, a wealthy German," was the reply given by a sbirro. "Then come with me, my man," said the lieutenant; "and let us lose no time in searching his house.
"I read story-books of crime in which the detectives are 'sleuths. It is American. Italians say 'sbirro, England says 'police officer." "How is everybody?" "Everybody very well. Time passes; tears dry; Providence watches." "And you are still looking for the rich woman to restore the last of the Dorias to his castle?" Giuseppe laughed, then he shut his eyes and sucked his evil-smelling cigar.
"And have a care, Blindi," added Omar, observing that the interpreter was about to speak; "if you say that you are under the protection of the British consul I'll have you flayed alive. Off with him!" The sbirro, with a comrade, led Bobi through several of the narrow streets of the town to a chamber which was set apart for the infliction of punishment.
While this transaction was in progress, the notice of one of the sbirri was attracted by the marks of blood which appeared on the floor, and which, as the reader will recollect, had been caused by the wound that the Marquis of Orsini had received from the robber Stephano. "It is decidedly blood," whispered the sbirro to one of his companions. "Not a doubt of it," observed another.
