She
and
I
were
looking
out
of
one
of
the
long
drawing
room
windows
,
when
there
entered
the
courtyard
,
over
the
drawbridge
,
a
figure
of
a
wanderer
whom
I
knew
very
well
.
He
used
to
visit
the
schloss
generally
twice
a
year
.
It
was
the
figure
of
a
hunchback
,
with
the
sharp
lean
features
that
generally
accompany
deformity
.
He
wore
a
pointed
black
beard
,
and
he
was
smiling
from
ear
to
ear
,
showing
his
white
fangs
.
He
was
dressed
in
buff
,
black
,
and
scarlet
,
and
crossed
with
more
straps
and
belts
than
I
could
count
,
from
which
hung
all
manner
of
things
.
Behind
,
he
carried
a
magic
lantern
,
and
two
boxes
,
which
I
well
knew
,
in
one
of
which
was
a
salamander
,
and
in
the
other
a
mandrake
.
These
monsters
used
to
make
my
father
laugh
.
They
were
compounded
of
parts
of
monkeys
,
parrots
squirrels
,
fish
,
and
hedgehogs
,
dried
and
stitched
together
with
great
neatness
and
startling
effect
.
He
had
a
fiddle
,
a
box
of
conjuring
apparatus
,
a
pair
of
foils
and
masks
attached
to
his
belt
,
several
other
mysterious
cases
dangling
about
him
,
and
a
black
staff
with
copper
ferrules
in
his
hand
.
His
companion
was
a
rough
spare
dog
,
that
followed
at
his
heels
,
but
stopped
short
,
suspiciously
at
the
drawbridge
,
and
in
a
little
while
began
to
howl
dismally
.
In
the
meantime
,
the
mountebank
,
standing
in
the
midst
of
the
courtyard
,
raised
his
grotesque
hat
,
and
made
us
a
very
ceremonious
bow
,
paying
his
compliments
very
volubly
in
execrable
French
,
and
German
not
much
better
.
Then
,
disengaging
his
fiddle
,
he
began
to
scrape
a
lively
air
to
which
he
sang
with
a
merry
discord
,
dancing
with
ludicrous
airs
and
activity
,
that
made
me
laugh
,
in
spite
of
the
dog
's
howling
.
Then
he
advanced
to
the
window
with
many
smiles
and
salutations
,
and
his
hat
in
his
left
hand
,
his
fiddle
under
his
arm
,
and
with
a
fluency
that
never
took
breath
,
he
gabbled
a
long
advertisement
of
all
his
accomplishments
,
and
the
resources
of
the
various
arts
which
he
placed
at
our
service
,
and
the
curiosities
and
entertainments
which
it
was
in
his
power
,
at
our
bidding
,
to
display
.
"
Will
your
ladyships
be
pleased
to
buy
an
amulet
against
the
oupire
,
which
is
going
like
the
wolf
,
I
hear
,
through
these
woods
,
"
he
said
dropping
his
hat
on
the
pavement
.
"
They
are
dying
of
it
right
and
left
and
here
is
a
charm
that
never
fails
;
only
pinned
to
the
pillow
,
and
you
may
laugh
in
his
face
.
"
These
charms
consisted
of
oblong
slips
of
vellum
,
with
cabalistic
ciphers
and
diagrams
upon
them
.
Carmilla
instantly
purchased
one
,
and
so
did
I.
He
was
looking
up
,
and
we
were
smiling
down
upon
him
,
amused
;
at
least
,
I
can
answer
for
myself
.
His
piercing
black
eye
,
as
he
looked
up
in
our
faces
,
seemed
to
detect
something
that
fixed
for
a
moment
his
curiosity
.
In
an
instant
he
unrolled
a
leather
case
,
full
of
all
manner
of
odd
little
steel
instruments
.
"
See
here
,
my
lady
,
"
he
said
,
displaying
it
,
and
addressing
me
,
"
I
profess
,
among
other
things
less
useful
,
the
art
of
dentistry
.
Plague
take
the
dog
!
"
he
interpolated
.
