+
+A New History of BLUE BEARD.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Once upon a time there lived, a great way off, an old man who had two
+daughters, the name of the eldest was Fatima, the youngest Irene. Irene
+was a very pretty girl, but Fatima was beauty itself; and so very good
+besides, that every body loved her: you may see her introduced to a
+gentleman, to whom she was going to be married, her father having
+given his consent, had not the fame of her beauty reached the ears of
+a very great man, I should have said tyrant, for he was a very cruel
+over-bearing nobleman, and had been married to several ladies, of whom
+nobody knew what was become: but as he was very rich, and lived in a
+grand castle, of which I here present you with the drawing; he some how
+or other, was never long without a wife. This nobleman, whose name was
+Abomelique, but generally called Blue Beard, on account of his beard
+being of that color, being determined to see her, under a pretence of
+business paid the father of Fatima a visit. Poor Fatima! she little
+thought the great Abomelique was come to her father's cottage on her
+account; but so it was, he came attended like a king, (you may see him
+in the picture) the father of Fatima standing at the door to receive
+him; as soon as he entered the house the old man entertained him
+in the best manner he could, and ordered his two daughters to dress
+themselves in their best, and wait upon him; who, being good girls,
+soon did as they were bid; no sooner did Blue Beard see Fatima than he
+fell violently in love with her. I should not say love, for it was that
+kind of love a wolf has for a pretty innocent lamb; so without any
+more ado, he told her father the reason of his coming, offering to make
+her his wife; and that himself, and his other daughter, should go and
+live with him at the Castle.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The father was quite delighted with the offer, especially as Blue Beard
+told him he should be the master of all his slaves, and next himself in
+power. Irene too tho't she should like it vastly; "what a fine thing,"
+said she to herself, "it will be to have fine rooms to walk in when
+the weather is bad, and gardens to range in when the weather is fine;
+well, I almost wish he had fallen in love with me, for I don't think
+the great Abomelique would be so ugly, if it was not for his monstrous
+great Blue Beard;" Such was the thought of Irene. As to poor Fatima she
+fainted away, which frightened Blue Beard, who would have been glad
+to have found her agreeable to his wishes, however with much ado they
+brought her to herself when Blue Beard left her, promising to come
+the next day, and fetch her in state to the Castle: after he was gone
+nothing ran in the father's head but how he should enjoy himself at the
+Castle. As to Irene, she could not help pitying her sister, who was in
+a sad taking.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Fatima had a real love for Selim, to whom her father had promised his
+consent in marriage. You see promises with some, like pye-crust, is
+made to be broken. Ah! silly old man, you little think about the evil
+that hangs over your daughter's head. As Fatima knew she should be
+forced to go with Blue Beard, she wrote immediately to Selim. Now only
+think what a fine thing it is to be a scholar, for if Fatima could not
+have wrote to her lover, nobody else would have done it for her, and
+what would have been the consequence you will find by and by; so above
+all things learn to read your book, that your daddy and mammy may learn
+you to write too; well as soon as she had finished her letter, she gave
+it to a trusty messenger, who set off full speed and soon arrived at
+Selim's house. I must now return to Blue Beard, who could not get a
+wink of sleep all night, so much did he think of his intended bride:
+so, no sooner had the sun gilded the mountain's tops than he was up,
+and the procession was ordered to move towards the village; you can
+think what a fine sight it was, first came two trumpeters, then two
+kettle-drums, then two French horns, then two men with fine silken
+flags, then some of his black slaves armed with bows and arrows; next
+came the great Abomelique himself, riding on an elephant, under a fine
+silken canopy; next followed another elephant richly dressed, with a
+fine seat on his back, with a silken canopy over it, for Fatima and her
+sister; a fine Arabian horse followed, led by a black slave, for her
+father; a band of music following; then his slaves armed with bows and
+arrows, closed the procession. Blue Beard brought some fine clothes
+along with him for Fatima and her sister, which the father insisted
+upon her wearing. It was in vain for her to tell him she could not
+be happy, as her heart was given to Selim; he knew that Blue Beard
+was very rich, and like many others, he thought happiness consisted
+in wealth; so, says he, have him you must, and have him you shall:
+Abomelique, at the same time, took all manner of pains to please her;
+for, beside the fine clothes, he brought her jewels and diamonds in
+profusion, and promised she should want for nothing when she got to the
+castle.
+
+After being dressed in a very grand manner she was put or rather forced
+into her seat on the elephant's back along with her sister Irene; the
+ladies round about, who came to the sight, could scarce keep from
+envying her, forgetting that very fine clothes may hide a very heavy
+heart, as it did now. No sooner was the company seated than the music
+began to play, and off the great Abomelique marched in triumph with
+his prize. Her lover Selim no sooner received her letter, than knowing
+no time was to be lost, went directly to his brother, who commanded a
+troop, who promised to assist him to the utmost, so it was agreed to
+muster their men, and to set off immediately for the father, and bring
+Fatima away: or, if Blue Beard had already got her, to force her from
+him, who by now had arrived at his Castle. Sure nothing could equal the
+rejoicings made to welcome her.--Blue Beard conducted her to a fine
+seat in a magnificent garden, where refreshments were placed and some
+of the females were ordered to dance to entertain her; but for all this
+she was still melancholy; as to her father he was as merry as a grig,
+pulling about the women, and driving about the men; and Irene would
+have been merry could she have seen her sister so. Blue Beard having
+a mind to leave her a little to herself, pretended he had business of
+the utmost importance to transact, told her he must leave her till the
+evening, giving her at the same time the keys of all the apartments of
+the Castle, telling her, as she was mistress of the place to go freely
+into any of them, except that room, the door of which was in the Blue
+Chamber; and of which this key, set with diamonds, opens the lock; upon
+your life don't go into that chamber, giving Fatima the keys; and then
+with a look that frightened her sadly, left her; as soon as he was
+gone, Irene cried, 'now is not that kind of him to give you the keys to
+go where you please?' 'No, my dear sister,' said Fatima, 'I had much
+rather he had kept them; you find I am forbid going into one room, did
+not you hear him say, my life depended on it.'
+
+'I don't think anything of that,' said Irene, 'I long to see that
+chamber in particular; come don't mope so, if you had not seen Selim
+first, you might be very happy, for setting aside his beard I don't
+think Abomelique so very ugly; now as he won't be at home till evening,
+pray do let us go over the Castle, I long to have a rummage.' It was a
+long while before Irene could persuade her sister to go; however she
+agreed at length, and away they went; it would tire your patience if I
+told you all the fine things they saw, in one of the rooms there was a
+fine guitar hanging up, which Fatima took down, and began playing upon
+to divert her melancholy.
+
+Irene would not let her sister play upon it long, for she was impatient
+to see the rest of the chambers, when at length they arrived at the
+blue one, this was the grandest of all, it was lined with looking
+glasses, ornamented with fine blue enamelled frames; here you might see
+yourself from head to foot; the mantle piece was supported by pillars
+of the finest blue china; and though it was called the Blue Chamber,
+it might as well have been called the Golden one as the floor was
+lined with it, two glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling by chains of
+gold. In short, nothing was wanting to make this the finest room that
+ever was seen: in the middle of this chamber stood the door of that
+they were forbid to enter: 'well, sister Fatima,' says Irene, 'I am
+quite delighted with this place, I should like to see the next chamber
+vastly, I dare say it must be finer still; come, what say you to it,
+shall we look at it? there is nobody here to see us, and you know we
+need not tell of ourselves.'
+
+'Dear sister,' said Fatima, 'pray don't ask me, I dread the thought of
+it, let us be satisfied with what we have seen, and return; indeed I
+begin to be tired with the ramble we have had;' 'well, my dear sister,'
+said Irene, 'we may not have such another opportunity a great while,
+if you wont go in, let us just open the door, and only look in, sure
+there can be no great harm in that.' 'I could like to please you,' says
+Fatima, 'but I am sadly afraid;' 'Pho!' cried Irene, 'don't be afraid
+before you are hurt; come, fear nothing.' Fatima, to please her, took
+the key all sparkling with diamonds, and put it to the lock, when the
+door flew open in an instant, and discovered such a dismal scene, that
+Fatima instantly fainted away, the walls were lined with the skeletons,
+and the floor was strewed with the limbs of the dead wives the cruel
+Blue Beard had already murdered, which were swimming in their blood,
+into which, when Fatima fainted, she dropt the key. At one end of this
+dismal room stood the figure of death holding a dart, and over him was
+wrote, in characters of blood, _The punishment of curiosity_. 'Mercy on
+me!' said Fatima, as soon as she recovered, 'what will become of me.
+Abomelique will surely find me out, and no doubt serve me as he has
+done the poor creatures we have just seen.'
+
+'Come, dear sister,' said Irene, 'let us get away, I am very sorry
+I persuaded you to open the door;'--'Where is the key gone,' says
+Fatima, ''tis not in the door?' 'Perhaps it is dropt,' says Irene; and
+so it was sure enough, and what was worse, into the blood: she took
+it up, locked the door, and wiped the blood from off her hands, but
+in spite of all they could do, they could not wipe it from the key.
+Now you must know this key was the gift of a fairy to Blue Beard; and
+when poor Fatima found she could not clean it, she cried bitterly, and
+Irene could not help crying too. 'You know, my dear, 'tis a saying, one
+trouble seldom comes alone;' and that was the case now; for while they
+were thinking what they should do, a black slave entered to tell them
+Abomelique was returned, and expected them in the grand saloon. This
+was terrible news for Fatima, who gave herself up for lost; however,
+go she must.
+
+'Now as they were going,' Fatima says to Irene, 'my dear sister,
+yesterday I wrote to Selim, and as I make no doubt but he received the
+letter, this day I hoped to see him; pray do you go to the top of the
+tower, and if he should be coming, beckon him with your handkerchief
+to make haste.' Away went Irene with a heavy heart; while Fatima, with
+a heavier one, went to meet Blue Beard; who, as soon as he saw her,
+cried out, 'Well Madam, how have you entertained yourself? don't you
+think there are sights in the Castle worth looking at?' 'Yes,' replied
+Fatima, sighing, 'there are indeed!'--'But why sigh, my love!' says
+Blue Beard, 'I hope you have not broke the order I gave you; come, give
+me the keys.' Poor Fatima with an aching heart, put her hand into her
+pocket, and pulling out the keys, gave them to him with a trembling
+hand.
+
+Blue Beard was afraid something had happened by her trembling; he
+no sooner saw the blood on the key of the chamber he forbid her to
+enter, than his countenance changed, and he roared out in a voice like
+thunder, 'Ah! wretch, I see what you have been at; you have seen my
+former wives, who have forfeited their lives by their curiosity, and
+you shall now go and lay among them.'
+
+So saying he seized her by the hair of her head: when, falling on her
+knees, she besought him to spare her life; but he was a monster not to
+be moved. When she found he was determined to kill her, she begged him
+to grant her a little time to say her prayers. He bid her go, but not
+be long or he would fetch her.
+
+Getting up into her chamber, she called for her sister, and asked her
+if she saw any thing. 'No, dear sister,' said Irene, 'nothing but the
+dreary common and the sky.' 'Are you most done?' said Blue Beard;
+'yes,' cried Fatima; when calling again to Irene, she said, 'sister,
+what do you see?' 'Nothing, dear sister, but a flock of sheep.' 'Are
+you not a coming?' said Blue Beard, in a surlier voice than before;
+'yes directly,' said Fatima; when calling to her sister, she asked her
+if she saw nothing? 'yes,' cried Irene, 'I see a great cloud of dust,
+but it is a great way off.' 'If you don't come down,' Blue Beard roared
+out, 'I will fetch you;' 'coming,' cried Fatima: when calling again
+to her sister, she asked her what she saw? 'I see,' cried Irene, 'a
+number of horsemen riding full speed towards the Castle;' 'wave your
+handkerchief, dear sister, that they may make more haste, or I fear it
+will be all over with me.'
+
+At this instant entered Blue Beard, and seizing her hair, began
+dragging her towards the Blue Chamber, while her shrieks were enough
+to pierce the heart of stone. He had not dragged her far before he
+heard the sound of feet on the stairs and as tyrants are always
+cowards, he stopt to listen.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+He had not stopt long before Selim, (who had forced into the Castle)
+following the cries of Fatima, rushed into the room, with his sword in
+hand. 'Villain', said Blue Beard, drawing his scymater, 'what dost thou
+here?' 'Tyrant,' cried Selim, 'to punish such a monster as thou art.'
+They said no more, but at it they went. Despair lent courage to Blue
+Beard; love to Selim; while poor Fatima sat trembling on the floor. At
+length Selim prevailed: for running Blue Beard through the body, he
+laid him breathless on the floor.
+
+He now went to Fatima, who was fainting, and taking her in his arms,
+carried her to the window to give her air.
+
+In the mean time his brother had overcome the slaves, who were not
+sorry to hear of Blue Beard's death.
+
+Selim took possession of the Castle, gave the slaves their liberty,
+and married Fatima. Selim's brother fell in love with and married
+Irene, and they all lived together happily.
+
+
+
+
+ Cruel Blue Beard being dead
+ And those lovers in his stead,
+ Time goes merrily along,
+ Now a dance, and then a song:
+ for whenever true love's found,
+ Joy and pleasure will abound.
+ By the poor around they're blest,
+ By the rich around carest;
+ Guilt may leave behind its stings,
+ Nought but comfort virtue brings.

-A New History of BLUE BEARD.
-
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Once upon a time there lived, a great way off, an old man who had two
-daughters, the name of the eldest was Fatima, the youngest Irene. Irene
-was a very pretty girl, but Fatima was beauty itself; and so very good
-besides, that every body loved her: you may see her introduced to a
-gentleman, to whom she was going to be married, her father having
-given his consent, had not the fame of her beauty reached the ears of
-a very great man, I should have said tyrant, for he was a very cruel
-over-bearing nobleman, and had been married to several ladies, of whom
-nobody knew what was become: but as he was very rich, and lived in a
-grand castle, of which I here present you with the drawing; he some how
-or other, was never long without a wife. This nobleman, whose name was
-Abomelique, but generally called Blue Beard, on account of his beard
-being of that color, being determined to see her, under a pretence of
-business paid the father of Fatima a visit. Poor Fatima! she little
-thought the great Abomelique was come to her father's cottage on her
-account; but so it was, he came attended like a king, (you may see him
-in the picture) the father of Fatima standing at the door to receive
-him; as soon as he entered the house the old man entertained him
-in the best manner he could, and ordered his two daughters to dress
-themselves in their best, and wait upon him; who, being good girls,
-soon did as they were bid; no sooner did Blue Beard see Fatima than he
-fell violently in love with her. I should not say love, for it was that
-kind of love a wolf has for a pretty innocent lamb; so without any
-more ado, he told her father the reason of his coming, offering to make
-her his wife; and that himself, and his other daughter, should go and
-live with him at the Castle.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-[Illustration]
-
-The father was quite delighted with the offer, especially as Blue Beard
-told him he should be the master of all his slaves, and next himself in
-power. Irene too tho't she should like it vastly; "what a fine thing,"
-said she to herself, "it will be to have fine rooms to walk in when
-the weather is bad, and gardens to range in when the weather is fine;
-well, I almost wish he had fallen in love with me, for I don't think
-the great Abomelique would be so ugly, if it was not for his monstrous
-great Blue Beard;" Such was the thought of Irene. As to poor Fatima she
-fainted away, which frightened Blue Beard, who would have been glad
-to have found her agreeable to his wishes, however with much ado they
-brought her to herself when Blue Beard left her, promising to come
-the next day, and fetch her in state to the Castle: after he was gone
-nothing ran in the father's head but how he should enjoy himself at the
-Castle. As to Irene, she could not help pitying her sister, who was in
-a sad taking.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Fatima had a real love for Selim, to whom her father had promised his
-consent in marriage. You see promises with some, like pye-crust, is
-made to be broken. Ah! silly old man, you little think about the evil
-that hangs over your daughter's head. As Fatima knew she should be
-forced to go with Blue Beard, she wrote immediately to Selim. Now only
-think what a fine thing it is to be a scholar, for if Fatima could not
-have wrote to her lover, nobody else would have done it for her, and
-what would have been the consequence you will find by and by; so above
-all things learn to read your book, that your daddy and mammy may learn
-you to write too; well as soon as she had finished her letter, she gave
-it to a trusty messenger, who set off full speed and soon arrived at
-Selim's house. I must now return to Blue Beard, who could not get a
-wink of sleep all night, so much did he think of his intended bride:
-so, no sooner had the sun gilded the mountain's tops than he was up,
-and the procession was ordered to move towards the village; you can
-think what a fine sight it was, first came two trumpeters, then two
-kettle-drums, then two French horns, then two men with fine silken
-flags, then some of his black slaves armed with bows and arrows; next
-came the great Abomelique himself, riding on an elephant, under a fine
-silken canopy; next followed another elephant richly dressed, with a
-fine seat on his back, with a silken canopy over it, for Fatima and her
-sister; a fine Arabian horse followed, led by a black slave, for her
-father; a band of music following; then his slaves armed with bows and
-arrows, closed the procession. Blue Beard brought some fine clothes
-along with him for Fatima and her sister, which the father insisted
-upon her wearing. It was in vain for her to tell him she could not
-be happy, as her heart was given to Selim; he knew that Blue Beard
-was very rich, and like many others, he thought happiness consisted
-in wealth; so, says he, have him you must, and have him you shall:
-Abomelique, at the same time, took all manner of pains to please her;
-for, beside the fine clothes, he brought her jewels and diamonds in
-profusion, and promised she should want for nothing when she got to the
-castle.
-
-After being dressed in a very grand manner she was put or rather forced
-into her seat on the elephant's back along with her sister Irene; the
-ladies round about, who came to the sight, could scarce keep from
-envying her, forgetting that very fine clothes may hide a very heavy
-heart, as it did now. No sooner was the company seated than the music
-began to play, and off the great Abomelique marched in triumph with
-his prize. Her lover Selim no sooner received her letter, than knowing
-no time was to be lost, went directly to his brother, who commanded a
-troop, who promised to assist him to the utmost, so it was agreed to
-muster their men, and to set off immediately for the father, and bring
-Fatima away: or, if Blue Beard had already got her, to force her from
-him, who by now had arrived at his Castle. Sure nothing could equal the
-rejoicings made to welcome her.--Blue Beard conducted her to a fine
-seat in a magnificent garden, where refreshments were placed and some
-of the females were ordered to dance to entertain her; but for all this
-she was still melancholy; as to her father he was as merry as a grig,
-pulling about the women, and driving about the men; and Irene would
-have been merry could she have seen her sister so. Blue Beard having
-a mind to leave her a little to herself, pretended he had business of
-the utmost importance to transact, told her he must leave her till the
-evening, giving her at the same time the keys of all the apartments of
-the Castle, telling her, as she was mistress of the place to go freely
-into any of them, except that room, the door of which was in the Blue
-Chamber; and of which this key, set with diamonds, opens the lock; upon
-your life don't go into that chamber, giving Fatima the keys; and then
-with a look that frightened her sadly, left her; as soon as he was
-gone, Irene cried, 'now is not that kind of him to give you the keys to
-go where you please?' 'No, my dear sister,' said Fatima, 'I had much
-rather he had kept them; you find I am forbid going into one room, did
-not you hear him say, my life depended on it.'
-
-'I don't think anything of that,' said Irene, 'I long to see that
-chamber in particular; come don't mope so, if you had not seen Selim
-first, you might be very happy, for setting aside his beard I don't
-think Abomelique so very ugly; now as he won't be at home till evening,
-pray do let us go over the Castle, I long to have a rummage.' It was a
-long while before Irene could persuade her sister to go; however she
-agreed at length, and away they went; it would tire your patience if I
-told you all the fine things they saw, in one of the rooms there was a
-fine guitar hanging up, which Fatima took down, and began playing upon
-to divert her melancholy.
-
-Irene would not let her sister play upon it long, for she was impatient
-to see the rest of the chambers, when at length they arrived at the
-blue one, this was the grandest of all, it was lined with looking
-glasses, ornamented with fine blue enamelled frames; here you might see
-yourself from head to foot; the mantle piece was supported by pillars
-of the finest blue china; and though it was called the Blue Chamber,
-it might as well have been called the Golden one as the floor was
-lined with it, two glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling by chains of
-gold. In short, nothing was wanting to make this the finest room that
-ever was seen: in the middle of this chamber stood the door of that
-they were forbid to enter: 'well, sister Fatima,' says Irene, 'I am
-quite delighted with this place, I should like to see the next chamber
-vastly, I dare say it must be finer still; come, what say you to it,
-shall we look at it? there is nobody here to see us, and you know we
-need not tell of ourselves.'
-
-'Dear sister,' said Fatima, 'pray don't ask me, I dread the thought of
-it, let us be satisfied with what we have seen, and return; indeed I
-begin to be tired with the ramble we have had;' 'well, my dear sister,'
-said Irene, 'we may not have such another opportunity a great while,
-if you wont go in, let us just open the door, and only look in, sure
-there can be no great harm in that.' 'I could like to please you,' says
-Fatima, 'but I am sadly afraid;' 'Pho!' cried Irene, 'don't be afraid
-before you are hurt; come, fear nothing.' Fatima, to please her, took
-the key all sparkling with diamonds, and put it to the lock, when the
-door flew open in an instant, and discovered such a dismal scene, that
-Fatima instantly fainted away, the walls were lined with the skeletons,
-and the floor was strewed with the limbs of the dead wives the cruel
-Blue Beard had already murdered, which were swimming in their blood,
-into which, when Fatima fainted, she dropt the key. At one end of this
-dismal room stood the figure of death holding a dart, and over him was
-wrote, in characters of blood, _The punishment of curiosity_. 'Mercy on
-me!' said Fatima, as soon as she recovered, 'what will become of me.
-Abomelique will surely find me out, and no doubt serve me as he has
-done the poor creatures we have just seen.'
-
-'Come, dear sister,' said Irene, 'let us get away, I am very sorry
-I persuaded you to open the door;'--'Where is the key gone,' says
-Fatima, ''tis not in the door?' 'Perhaps it is dropt,' says Irene; and
-so it was sure enough, and what was worse, into the blood: she took
-it up, locked the door, and wiped the blood from off her hands, but
-in spite of all they could do, they could not wipe it from the key.
-Now you must know this key was the gift of a fairy to Blue Beard; and
-when poor Fatima found she could not clean it, she cried bitterly, and
-Irene could not help crying too. 'You know, my dear, 'tis a saying, one
-trouble seldom comes alone;' and that was the case now; for while they
-were thinking what they should do, a black slave entered to tell them
-Abomelique was returned, and expected them in the grand saloon. This
-was terrible news for Fatima, who gave herself up for lost; however,
-go she must.
-
-'Now as they were going,' Fatima says to Irene, 'my dear sister,
-yesterday I wrote to Selim, and as I make no doubt but he received the
-letter, this day I hoped to see him; pray do you go to the top of the
-tower, and if he should be coming, beckon him with your handkerchief
-to make haste.' Away went Irene with a heavy heart; while Fatima, with
-a heavier one, went to meet Blue Beard; who, as soon as he saw her,
-cried out, 'Well Madam, how have you entertained yourself? don't you
-think there are sights in the Castle worth looking at?' 'Yes,' replied
-Fatima, sighing, 'there are indeed!'--'But why sigh, my love!' says
-Blue Beard, 'I hope you have not broke the order I gave you; come, give
-me the keys.' Poor Fatima with an aching heart, put her hand into her
-pocket, and pulling out the keys, gave them to him with a trembling
-hand.
-
-Blue Beard was afraid something had happened by her trembling; he
-no sooner saw the blood on the key of the chamber he forbid her to
-enter, than his countenance changed, and he roared out in a voice like
-thunder, 'Ah! wretch, I see what you have been at; you have seen my
-former wives, who have forfeited their lives by their curiosity, and
-you shall now go and lay among them.'
-
-So saying he seized her by the hair of her head: when, falling on her
-knees, she besought him to spare her life; but he was a monster not to
-be moved. When she found he was determined to kill her, she begged him
-to grant her a little time to say her prayers. He bid her go, but not
-be long or he would fetch her.
-
-Getting up into her chamber, she called for her sister, and asked her
-if she saw any thing. 'No, dear sister,' said Irene, 'nothing but the
-dreary common and the sky.' 'Are you most done?' said Blue Beard;
-'yes,' cried Fatima; when calling again to Irene, she said, 'sister,
-what do you see?' 'Nothing, dear sister, but a flock of sheep.' 'Are
-you not a coming?' said Blue Beard, in a surlier voice than before;
-'yes directly,' said Fatima; when calling to her sister, she asked her
-if she saw nothing? 'yes,' cried Irene, 'I see a great cloud of dust,
-but it is a great way off.' 'If you don't come down,' Blue Beard roared
-out, 'I will fetch you;' 'coming,' cried Fatima: when calling again
-to her sister, she asked her what she saw? 'I see,' cried Irene, 'a
-number of horsemen riding full speed towards the Castle;' 'wave your
-handkerchief, dear sister, that they may make more haste, or I fear it
-will be all over with me.'
-
-At this instant entered Blue Beard, and seizing her hair, began
-dragging her towards the Blue Chamber, while her shrieks were enough
-to pierce the heart of stone. He had not dragged her far before he
-heard the sound of feet on the stairs and as tyrants are always
-cowards, he stopt to listen.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-He had not stopt long before Selim, (who had forced into the Castle)
-following the cries of Fatima, rushed into the room, with his sword in
-hand. 'Villain', said Blue Beard, drawing his scymater, 'what dost thou
-here?' 'Tyrant,' cried Selim, 'to punish such a monster as thou art.'
-They said no more, but at it they went. Despair lent courage to Blue
-Beard; love to Selim; while poor Fatima sat trembling on the floor. At
-length Selim prevailed: for running Blue Beard through the body, he
-laid him breathless on the floor.
-
-He now went to Fatima, who was fainting, and taking her in his arms,
-carried her to the window to give her air.
-
-In the mean time his brother had overcome the slaves, who were not
-sorry to hear of Blue Beard's death.
-
-Selim took possession of the Castle, gave the slaves their liberty,
-and married Fatima. Selim's brother fell in love with and married
-Irene, and they all lived together happily.
-
-
-
-
- Cruel Blue Beard being dead
- And those lovers in his stead,
- Time goes merrily along,
- Now a dance, and then a song:
- for whenever true love's found,
- Joy and pleasure will abound.
- By the poor around they're blest,
- By the rich around carest;
- Guilt may leave behind its stings,
- Nought but comfort virtue brings.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
