"Hear me; after what you have told me is there at the end of the park a tree where one could hide?" "Yes, colonel." "With the exception of the buccaneer, the filibuster or the cannibal no one enters the private habitation of Blue Beard?" "No one colonel except the mulattresses who wait upon her."
A number of old mulattresses had formed a ring and were skipping round in the midst of the mob. They were dressed in the nattiest costumes of our youngest and prettiest white women, and in dancing raised their skirts so as to show their lean, shrivelled legs and yellow thighs.
And Angela breaks into a merry peal of laughter which nothing can arrest, and the mulatto finally joins in her merriment. The two have scarcely subsided when Mirette enters preceded by two other mulattresses who carry a table sumptuously set out in gilded dishes.
Mirette, at these words, makes the sign of the cross while superintending the spreading of the board by two other mulattresses who are carrying bottles of Bohemian glass, engraved with golden arabesques, and plates of the most magnificent Japanese porcelain. Blue Beard continues, "This lover of mine is not a countryman, then?"
The serving of Blue Beard was done through the intermediary of a number of mulattresses, who alone communicated with their mistress. The house was built on a slope opposite the one by which access was had from the cliff. This slope, much less steep, and laid out in a number of natural terraces, was composed of five or six immense steps which, on all sides, commanded the precipice.
I cannot say which are in the right, for neither I nor my mates ever put foot in the interior of the mansion. Those who perform the special attendance and service are mulattresses as mute as fish." "And he?" "He is handsome, tall and slender, about thirty-six years old, brown, with black hair and mustache, and has an aquiline nose."
Do not forget to say to Cora and to the other mulattresses that to-morrow begins their service." Then she disappears, leaning on the arm of the mulatto. This last order of Angela was occasioned by a habit she has had, since her last widowhood, of alternating every three days the service of her women.
