There was but one person in the world whom Zamor really feared; he was however on good terms with all my friends, and did not disdain the society of the king.
Hear me, Rebecca," he said, proceeding with animation; "a better chance hast thou for life and liberty than yonder knaves and dotard dream of. Mount thee behind me on my steed on Zamor, the gallant horse that never failed his rider.
* This wretch, whom the comtesse du Barry loaded with her favours and benefits, conducted her to the scaffold. There was one member of my establishment, however, whom I preferred to either Dorine or Zamor and this was Henriette, who was sincerely attached to me, and who, for that very reason, was generally disliked throughout the castle.
Among the number which composed my household were three beings who played conspicuous parts in my family, and who received the kindest caresses in honour of their mistress. These three favoured objects were Dorine, Zamor, and Henriette. Following the order or disorder in which I have written thus far, I will first introduce my dear Dorine to your notice.
The second object of my regard was Zamor, a young African boy, full of intelligence and mischief; simple and independent in his nature, yet wild as his country. Zamor fancied himself the equal of all he met, scarcely deigning to acknowledge the king himself as his superior.
What did Zamor do, but run to the chancellor, snatch off his wig, and carry it in triumph to a corner of the room with its colony of cockchafers, leaving us all to admire the bald head of the chief magistrate.
It was Zamor who took to Du Barry her lover's head. It was Zamor who denounced her at the club of the Jacobins. But he learned how to make it red. Jeanne was imprisoned and tried before Dumas. "Your age?" "Forty-two years." She was really forty-seven. Coquetry even at the guillotine.
Zamor soon felt a species of instinctive dread of this overpowering and awe-inspiring genius, whose sudden appearance would chill him in his wildest fits of mirthful mischief, and send him cowering to a corner of the room; where he would remain huddled together, and apparently stupefied and motionless, till the count quitted the apartment.
Zamor is a representation of the savage in his free, and Monteze in his subdued state; Guzman, of the arrogance of the conqueror; and Alvarez, of the mild influence of Christianity.
There was but one person in the world whom Zamor really feared; he was however on good terms with all my friends, and did not disdain the society of the king.
