Watching the departure of the soldiers from any village, they would then fall upon the 156 RIDICULOUS BRAYADO. defenceless inhabitants of such places as Luco, Monti- celli, Castelluccioy Boccayiya; and when thej had rayaged, plundered, and destroyed to their hearts* content, they would retire in safety to their dens. Chiayone himself used to go to Home for the purpose of obtaining money and instructions. On these journeys he adopted a military title, assuming on each occasion, as his ideas of h...is own importance increased, a higher rank. First calling himself cap- tain, he then took the title of colonel, subsequently that of general, and finally lieutenant-general. Al- though this ridiculous brayado was no doubt partly . the result of mere yanity, yet there is also reason to belieye that it formed part of an artful plan. The summons which he seQt to the Italian authorities, he yauntingly displayed to the members of the Bourbonist committees, thus inspiring with a certain awe and respect the yery people who supplied him with money ; for the only exploit in which he dis- tinguished himself was that of amassing plunder by ransoming the small proprietors whom he had made captiyes.
