Bluebeard
THERE was a man who had fine houses, both in town and country, a deal of silver and gold plate, embroidered furniture, and coaches gilded all over with gold. But this man was so unlucky as to have a blue1 beard, which made him so frightfully ugly that all the women and girls ran away from him.
One of his neighbors, a lady of quality,
louboutin, had two daughters who were perfect beauties. He desired of her one of them in marriage,

They would neither of them have him, and sent him backward and forward from one another, not being able to bear the thoughts of marrying a man who had a bluebeard,2 and what besides gave them disgust and aversion was his having already been married to several wives, and nobody ever knew what became of them.
Bluebeard,3 to engage their affection, took them, with the lady their mother and three or four ladies of their acquaintance, with other young people of the neighborhood, to one of his countryseats,4 where they stayed a whole week.
There was nothing there to be seen but parties of pleasure, hunting, fishing, dancing, mirth,

In short, everything succeeded so well that the youngest daughter began to think the master of the house not to have a beard so very blue, and that he was a mighty civil gentleman.
As soon as they returned home, the marriage was concluded. About a month afterward, Bluebeard told his wife that he was obliged to take a country journey for six weeks5 at least, about affairs of very great consequence, desiring her to divert herself in his absence, to send for her friends and acquaintances, to carry them into the country, if she pleased, and to make good cheer wherever she was.
"Here," said he, "are thekeys6 of the two greatwardrobes,7 wherein I have my best furniture; these are of my silver and gold plate, which is not every day in use; these open my strong boxes,

Open them all; go into all and every one of them, except that little closet,

She promised to observe, very exactly, whatever he had ordered; when he, after having embraced her, got into his coach and proceeded on his journey.
Her neighbors and good friends did not stay to be sent for by the new married lady, so great was their impatience to see all the rich furniture of her house, not daring to come while her husband was there,

After that they went up into the two great rooms, where was the best and richest furniture; they could not sufficiently admire the number and beauty of the tapestry, beds, couches, cabinets, stands,
nike football cleats, tables, andlooking-glasses,13 in which you might see yourself from head to foot; some of them were framed with glass, others with silver, plain and gilded, the finest and most magnificent ever were seen.
