The eclogue, which is clearly modelled on the Italian examples, contains five characters, and is supposed to represent the love affairs of real personages . Two so-called 'commedie pastorali, from which Stiefel hoped for useful evidence, prove on inspection to be medleys of pastoral amours exhibiting little advance in dramatization, though interesting as showing traces of the influence of the not yet fully developed 'rustic' eclogue.
Luther broke out, as he had done after Henry of Zutphen's martyrdom, into a lamentation of his own unworthiness compared with such heroes. He published an account of Leonard and his end, which had been sent him by Michael Stiefel, adding a preface and conclusion of his own.
It was also virtually accepted by Stiefel in his review of Rossi, since he confined his criticism to pointing out and attempting to fill occasional gaps in the sequence of development, and to insisting on the influence of the regular drama, and more particularly of the Intronati comedy.
Some time ago Stiefel pointed out a considerable hiatus at this point in Rossi's account, and mentioned certain works which might be expected to fill it. These and others have since been examined by Carducci, with the result that it is possible, at least partially, to bridge the gap. The period proves to be one less of gradual evolution than of conscious experiment.
"Good gracious!" said he, "I had no idea a man ran such a risk, or I would have stayed at home. I decidedly object to being robbed." "Men are robbed in a different way in New York," said George Melville. "How do you mean, Mr. Melville?" "By defaulting clerks, absconding cashiers, swindlers of excellent social position." "Oh, we don't mind those things," said Mr. Stiefel.
"What an idiot!" thought Warner, shrugging his shoulders. "Why can't he see that I am forced to do as I am doing? I must make things plain to him." He spoke a few words rapidly in Spanish, which Brown evidently understood. His face showed a dawning comprehension of the state of affairs, and he stood aside while the stage drove on. "What did you say?" asked Conrad Stiefel, suspiciously.
"We can look out for ourselves. But when a man points at you with a revolver, that is terrible!" "I hope, my dear sir, you take good care of your money." "That I do," said Stiefel, complacently. "I carry it in a belt around my waist. That's a good place, hey?" "I commend your prudence, sir," said the colonel. "You are evidently a wise and judicious man."
The first voice he heard, he recognized as that of the colonel. "Yes," he said, "some of the passengers have got money. There's that Stiefel probably carries a big sum in gold and notes. When I was speaking of the chance of the stage being robbed, he was uncommon nervous." "Who's Stiefel?" was growled in another voice, which Herbert had no difficulty in recognizing as the landlord's.
