' () [] * [dagger] [double dagger] Sec. || ¶ - - - - - THE - POPULAR STORY - OF - BLUE BEARD. - - -A long time ago, and at a considerable distance from any town, there -lived a gentleman, who was not only in possession of great riches, but -of the largest estates in that part of the country. Although he had some -very elegant neat mansions on his estates, he generally resided in a -magnificent castle, beautifully situated on a rising ground, surrounded -with groves of the finest evergreens, and other choice trees and shrubs. - -The inside of this fine castle was even more beautiful than the outside; -for the rooms were all hung with the richest damask, curiously -ornamented; the chairs and sofas were covered with the finest velvet, -fringed with gold; and his table-dishes and plates were either of silver -or gold, finished in the most elegant style. His carriages and horses -might have served a king, and perhaps were finer than any monarch's of -the present day. The gentleman's appearance, however, did not altogether -correspond to his wealth; for, to a fierce disagreeable countenance, was -added an ugly blue beard, which made him an object of fear and disgust -in the neighbourhood, where he usually went by the name of Blue Beard. - -There resided, at some considerable distance from Blue Beard's castle, -an old lady and her two daughters, who were people of some rank, but by -no means wealthy. The two young ladies were very pretty, and the fame of -their beauty having reached Blue Beard, he determined to ask one of them -in marriage. Having ordered a carriage, he called at their house, where -he saw the two young ladies, and was very politely received by their -mother, with whom he begged a few moments conversation. - - [Illustration] - -After the two young ladies left the room, he began by describing his -immense riches, and then told her the purport of his visit, begging she -would use her interest in his favour. They were both so lovely, he said, -that he would be happy to get either of them for his wife, and would -therefore leave it to their own choice to determine upon the subject, -and immediately took his leave. - -When the proposals of Blue Beard were mentioned to the young ladies -by their mother, both Miss Anne and her sister Fatima protested, that -they would never marry an ugly man, and particularly one with such a -frightful blue beard; because, although he possessed immense riches, -it was reported in the country, that he had married several beautiful -ladies, and nobody could tell what had become of them. - -Their mother said, that the gentleman was agreeable in his conversation -and manners; that the ugliness of his face, and the blue beard, were -defects which they would soon be reconciled to from habit: that his -immense riches would procure them every luxury their heart could desire; -and he was so civil, that she was certain the scandalous reports about -his wives must be entirely without foundation. - -The two young ladies were as civil as they possibly could be, in order -to conceal the disgust they felt at Blue Beard, and, to soften their -refusal, replied to this effect,--That, at present, they had no desire -to change their situation; but if they had, the one sister could never -think of depriving the other of so good a match, and that they did not -wish to be separated. - -Blue Beard having called next day, the old lady told him what her -daughters had said; on which he sighed deeply, and pretended to be -very much disappointed; but as he had the mother on his side, he still -continued his visits to the family. Blue Beard, knowing the attractions -that fine houses, fine furniture, and fine entertainments, have on the -minds of ladies in general, invited the mother, her two daughters, and -two or three other ladies who were then on a visit to them, to spend a -day or two with him at his castle. - - [Illustration] - -Blue Beard's invitation was accepted, and having spent a considerable -time in arranging their wardrobe, and in adorning their persons, they -all set out for the splendid mansion of Blue Beard. - -On coming near the castle, although they had heard a great deal of the -taste and expense that had been employed in decorating it, they were -struck with the beauty of the trees that overshadowed the walks through -which they passed, and with the fragrancy of the flowers which perfumed -the air. When they reached the castle, Blue Beard, attended by a number -of his servants in splendid dresses, received them with the most polite -courtesy, and conducted them to a magnificent drawing-room. - -An elegant repast was ready in the dining-room, to which they adjourned. -Here they were again astonished by the grandeur of the apartment and the -elegance of the entertainment, and they felt so happy, that the evening -passed away before they were aware. - -Next day, after they had finished breakfast, the ladies proceeded to -examine the pictures and furniture of the rooms that were open, and were -truly astonished at the magnificence that every where met their view. - - [Illustration] - -The time rolled pleasantly away amidst a succession of the most -agreeable amusements, consisting of hunting, music, dancing, and -banquets, where the richest wines, and most tempting delicacies, in most -luxurious profusion, presented themselves in every direction. - -The party felt so agreeable amidst these scenes of festivity, that they -continued at the castle several days, during which the cunning Blue -Beard, by every obsequious service, tried to gain the favour of his fair -guests. Personal attentions, even although paid us by an ugly creature, -seldom fail to make a favourable impression; it was therefore no wonder -that Fatima, the youngest of the two sisters, began to think Blue Beard -a very polite, pleasant, and civil gentleman; and that the beard, which -she and her sister had been so much afraid of, was not so very blue. - -A short time after her return home, Fatima, who was delighted with -the attention which had been paid her at the castle, told her mother -that she did not now feel any objections to accept of Blue Beard as a -husband. The old lady immediately communicated to him the change in her -daughter's sentiments. - -Blue Beard, who lost no time in paying the family a visit, was in a few -days privately married to the young lady and soon after the ceremony, -Fatima, accompanied by her sister, returned to the castle the wife of -Blue Beard. - - [Illustration] - -On arriving there, they were received at the entrance by all his -retinue, attired in splendid dresses, and Blue Beard, after saluting his -bride, led the way to an elegant entertainment, where, every thing that -could add to to their comfort being prepared, they spent the evening in -the most agreeable manner. - -The next day, and every succeeding day, Blue Beard always varied the -amusements, and a month had passed away imperceptibly, when he told his -wife that he was obliged to leave her for a few weeks, as he had some -affairs to transact in a distant part of the country, which required his -personal attendance. - -"But," said he, "my dear Fatima, you may enjoy yourself in my absence in -any way that will add to your happiness, and you can invite your friends -to make the time pass more agreeably, for you are sole mistress in this -castle. Here are the keys of the two large wardrobes; this is the key of -the great box that contains the best plate, which we use for company; -this of my strong box, where I keep my money; and this belongs to the -casket, in which are all my jewels. Here also is a master-key to all -the rooms in the house; but this small key belongs to the blue closet -at the end of the long gallery on the ground floor. I give you leave," -he continued, "to open, or do what you like with all the rest of the -castle except this closet: now, my dear, remember you must not enter -it, nor even put the key into the lock. If you do not obey me in this, -expect the most dreadful of punishments." - - [Illustration] - -She promised him implicit obedience to his orders, and then accompanied -him to the gate, where Blue Beard, after saluting her in a tender -manner, stepped into the coach, and drove away. - -When Blue Beard was gone, Fatima sent a kind invitation to her friends -to come immediately to the castle, and ordered a grand entertainment -to be prepared for their reception. She also sent a messenger to her -two brothers, both officers in the army, who were quartered about forty -miles distant, requesting they would obtain leave of absence, and spend -a few days with her. So eager were her friends to see the apartments and -the riches of Blue Beard's castle, of which they had heard so much, that -in less than two hours after receiving notice, the whole company were -assembled, with the exception of her brothers, who were not expected -till the following day. - -As her guests had arrived long before the time appointed them for the -entertainment. Fatima took them thro' every apartment in the castle, -and displayed all the wealth she had acquired by her marriage with Blue -Beard. They went from room to room, and from wardrobe to wardrobe, -expressing fresh wonder and delight at every new object they came to; -but their surprise was increased when they entered the drawing-rooms, -and saw the grandeur of the furniture. - -During the day, Fatima was so much engaged, that she never once thought -of the blue closet, which Blue Beard had ordered her not to open; but -when all the visitors were gone, she felt a great curiosity to know its -contents. She took out the key, which was made of the finest gold, and -went to consult with her sister on the subject. Anne used every argument -she could think of to dissuade Fatima from her purpose, and reminded her -of the threats of Blue Beard; but all in vain, for Fatima was now bent -on gratifying her curiosity. - -She therefore, in spite of all her sister could do, seized one of the -candles, and hurried down stairs to the fatal closet. On reaching the -door she stopped, and began to reason with herself on the propriety -of her conduct; but her curiosity at length overcame every other -consideration, and, with a trembling hand, she applied the key to the -lock, and opened the door. She had only advanced a few steps, when the -most frightful scene met her view, and, struck with horror and dismay, -she dropped the key of the closet. She was in the midst of blood, and -the heads, bodies, and mutilated limbs of murdered ladies lay scattered -on the floor. These ladies had all been married to Blue Beard, and had -suffered for their imprudent curiosity, the key, which was the gift of a -fairy, always betraying their fatal disobedience. - - [Illustration] - -The terror of Fatima was not diminished on observing these dreadful -words on the wall--"_The Reward of Disobedience and Imprudent -Curiosity!_" She trembled violently; but, on recovering a little, she -snatched up the key, and having again locked the door, left this abode -of horror. - -As soon as she reached her sister's chamber, she related the whole -of her horrid adventure. They then examined the key, but it was all -covered with blood, and they both turned pale with fear. They spent a -good part of the night in trying to clean off the blood from the key, -but it was without effect, for though they washed and scoured it with -brick dust and sand, no sooner was the blood removed from one side, than -it appeared on the other. Fatigued with their exertions, they at last -retired to bed, where they passed a sleepless and anxious night. - -Fatima rose at a late hour next day, and consulted with her sister how -she ought to proceed. She thought first of escaping from the castle, -but as her brothers were expected in an hour or two, she resolved to -wait their arrival. A loud knock at the gate made her almost leap for -joy, and she cried, "they are come! they are come!" but what was her -consternation when Blue Beard hastily opened the door, and entered. -It was impossible for Fatima to conceal her agitation, although she -pretended to be very happy at his sudden and unexpected return. - -Blue Beard, who guessed what she had been about, requested the keys, -in order, as he said, that he might change his dress. She went to her -chamber, and soon returned with the keys, all except the one belonging -to the blue closet. He took the keys from her with seeming indifference, -and after glancing at them minutely, said, rather sternly, "How is this, -Fatima! I do not see the key of the blue closet here! Go and bring it to -me instantly." - -The poor girl, feeling the crisis of her fate approaching, said, "I -will go and search for it," and left the apartment in tears. She went -straight to her sister's chamber, where they again tried, but in vain, -to remove the blood from the key. The voice of Blue Beard again calling -for her, she was forced to return, and reluctantly to give him the -fatal key. - - [Illustration] - -On examining the key, Blue Beard burst into a terrible rage. "Pray -Madam," said he, "how came this blood to be here?" "I am sure I do not -know," replied she, trembling, and turning pale. - -"What! do you not know!" cried Blue Beard, in a voice like thunder, -which made poor Fatima start with fear; "but I know well! You have been -in the forbidden blue closet! And since you are so fond of prying into -secrets, you shall take up your abode with the ladies you saw there." - - [Illustration] - -Almost expiring with fear and terror, the trembling Fatima sunk upon -her knees, and implored him in the most piteous manner to forgive her. -But the cruel Blue Beard, deaf to her intreaties, drew his dreadful -scymetar, and bid her prepare for immediate death. - -Blue Beard had raised his arm to give the fatal blow, when a dreadful -shriek from her sister, who at that moment entered the apartment, -arrested his attention. She entreated him to spare the life of Fatima, -but he was deaf to her intercession, and would only grant her one -quarter of an hour, that she might make her peace with Heaven, before he -put her to death. - -Blue Beard then dragged her up to a large hall in the top of the -tower of the castle, to prevent her groans being heard, to which they -were followed by her sister. He then told her to make the best use of -the time, as she might expect his return the moment it elapsed, and -immediately left the place. - -When alone with her sister, Fatima felt her dreadful situation, and -again burst into tears. Only fifteen minutes between her and the most -cruel death, without the least chance of escape; for Blue Beard had -secured the door when he retired, and the staircase they saw only led -to the battlements. Fatima's thoughts were now turned to her brothers, -whom she expected that day; and she requested her sister to ascend to -the top of the tower, to see if there was any appearance of them. - -Fatima's sister immediately ascended to the top of the battlements, -while the poor trembling girl below, every minute, cried out, "Sister -Anne, my dear sister Anne, do you see any one coming yet?" - -Her sister always replied, "There is not a human being in view, and I -see nothing but the sun and the grass." - -She was upon her knees bewailing her fate, when Blue Beard, in a -tremendous voice, cried out, "Are you ready? the time is expired;" and -she heard the sound of his footsteps approaching. She again supplicated -him to allow her five minutes longer to finish her prayers, which he, -knowing she was completely within his power, granted her, and again left -her. - -Fatima again renewed her inquiries to her sister; "Do you see any one -coming yet?" - -Her sister replied, "There is not a human being within sight." - -When the five minutes were elapsed, the voice of Blue Beard was heard -bawling out, "Are you ready yet?" - -She again beseeched him to allow her only two minutes more, and then -addressed her sister, "Dear Anne, do you see any one coming yet?" - - [Illustration] - -"I see," said her sister, "a cloud of dust rising a little to the left." - -In breathless agitation, she cried, "Do you think it is my brothers?" - -"Alas! no, my dearest Fatima," returned her sister, "it is only a flock -of sheep." - -Again the voice of Blue Beard was heard, and she begged for one minute -longer. She then called out for the last time, "Sister Anne, do you see -no one coming yet?" - -Her sister quickly answered, "I see two men on horseback, but they are -still a great way off." - -"Thank heaven," exclaimed Fatima, "I shall yet be saved, for it must be -my two brothers! My dearest sister, make every signal in your power to -hasten them forward, or they will be too late." - -Blue Beard's patience being now exhausted, he burst open the door in -a rage, and made a blow at the wretched Fatima, with the intention -of striking off her head; but she sprang close to him and evaded it. -Furious at being foiled in his aim, he threw her from him, and then -seizing her by the hair of the head, was in the act of striking her a -blow with his scymetar, when the noise of persons approaching, with -hasty steps, arrested the progress of his sanguinary arm. Blue Beard -had not time to conjecture who the intruders might be, when the door -opened, and two officers, with their swords drawn, rushed into the -apartment. - - [Illustration] - -Struck with terror, the guilty wretch released his wife from his grasp, -and without attempting to resist, he tried to effect his escape from the -resentment of her brothers; but they pursued and seized him before he -had got above twenty paces from the place. After reproaching Blue Beard -with his cruelty, they dragged him back to the spot where he intended to -have murdered their sister; and there, stabbing him to the heart with -their swords, he expired, uttering the most horrid oaths and execrations. - -Fatima, who had fallen to the ground at the time Blue Beard quitted -his hold of her, still lay in the same situation insensible; for the -appearance of her brothers, at the moment she expected certain death, -had thrown her into a faint, which continued during the whole of the -time they were engaged in despatching her husband. - -The two young officers now turned their attention to their sister, whom -they raised from the ground; but she could hardly be persuaded of her -safety, till they pointed to where Blue Beard lay extended and lifeless. - -Fatima, on recovering a little, tenderly embraced her deliverers; and -the appearance of their sister Anne, who had come down from the top of -the battlements, added to their happiness. - - [Illustration] - -As all those horrid murders which had been committed by Blue Beard, were -unknown to his domestics, on whose credulity he imposed by falsehoods, -which they had no means of detecting, Fatima and her brothers thought -the most prudent way to act, was to assemble them together, and then -disclose the wickedness of their late master. - -By the direction of Fatima, her two brothers conducted all the servants -to the dreadful scene of her husband's cruelties, and then showing them -his dead body, related the whole occurrences which had taken place. They -all said that his punishment was not adequate to what he deserved, and -begged that they might be continued in the service of their mistress. - -As Blue Beard had no relations, Fatima was sole heir to the whole of his -immense property, and mistress of the castle, in the possession of which -she was confirmed by the laws of the country. She then sent notice to -all the families in the neighbourhood of the death of her husband, and -the horrid proofs of his cruelty were laid open for two days to all who -chose to inspect them. He was then buried privately, along with all the -bodies of the ladies he had murdered, and the fatal closet underwent a -complete repair, which removed every trace of his barbarity. - -Soon after this, Fatima gave a magnificent entertainment to all her -friends, where happiness was seen in every face; and on this occasion -the poor, who were assembled for many miles round, partook most -liberally of her bounty. - -Though possessed of riches almost inexhaustible, Fatima disposed of them -with so much discretion, that she gained the esteem of every one who -knew her. She bestowed handsome fortunes on her two brothers; and to her -sister, who was married about two months after, she gave a very large -dowry. - -The beauty, riches, and amiable conduct of Fatima, attracted a number -of admirers, and among others, a young nobleman of very high rank, who, -to a handsome person, added every quality calculated to make a good -husband; and after a reasonable time spent in courtship, their marriage -was celebrated with great rejoicings. - - - FINIS - - - Transcriber's Note: On page 12 the word themsevles is now themselves. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Popular Story of Blue Beard, by -Charles Perrault and John H.
