He beheld her a skull with a lamp behind the eyeholes. But this woman was the woman who made him a father; she was the mother of the heir of the House; and the boy she clasped and suckled as her boy was his boy. They met inseparably in that new life. Truly, there could not be a woman of flesh so near to a likeness with the beatific image of Feltre's worshipped Madonna!
She's gone, extinguished there she is, under the penitent's hoodcap with eyeholes, before the faggots! and that's what she has married! a burning torment, and none of the joys of martyrdom. Oh!

He has a drum and drumstick, and a straw or paper club; also two goblins, these are good-sized boys or girls wearing ugly masks, or at least black hoods with two eyeholes, made as hideous as possible; and any number of children, from three or four up, for animals. If each has the marks, colours, etc., of some bird or beast, so much the better.
