Some of those women are very pretty, too, and outshine more than one court-beauty that I have seen.

Upon my word, it is the most extraordinary spectacle I ever heard of.

I wonder what they've got that's so attractive down there ?" At the same moment, a loud voice within the circle abruptly exclaimed "She revives, she revives! Back, back, and give her air!" Instantly, the throng swayed and fell back; and the dwarf, with a sort of yell (whether of rage or relief, nobody knew), swept them from side to side with a wave of his long arms, and cleared a wide vacancy for his own especial benefit.

The action gave the count an opportunity of gratifying his curiosity.

The object of attraction was now plainly visible.
