The
young
girl
herself
generally
passed
her
time
in
the
chamber
at
the
farther
end
of
her
apartments
.
This
was
a
sort
of
boudoir
,
circular
,
and
lighted
only
from
the
roof
,
which
consisted
of
rose-colored
glass
.
Haidee
was
reclining
upon
soft
downy
cushions
,
covered
with
blue
satin
spotted
with
silver
;
her
head
,
supported
by
one
of
her
exquisitely
moulded
arms
,
rested
on
the
divan
immediately
behind
her
,
while
the
other
was
employed
in
adjusting
to
her
lips
the
coral
tube
of
a
rich
narghile
,
through
whose
flexible
pipe
she
drew
the
smoke
fragrant
by
its
passage
through
perfumed
water
.
Her
attitude
,
though
perfectly
natural
for
an
Eastern
woman
would
,
in
a
European
,
have
been
deemed
too
full
of
coquettish
straining
after
effect
.
Her
dress
,
which
was
that
of
the
women
of
Epirus
,
consisted
of
a
pair
of
white
satin
trousers
,
embroidered
with
pink
roses
,
displaying
feet
so
exquisitely
formed
and
so
delicately
fair
,
that
they
might
well
have
been
taken
for
Parian
marble
,
had
not
the
eye
been
undeceived
by
their
movements
as
they
constantly
shifted
in
and
out
of
a
pair
of
little
slippers
with
upturned
toes
,
beautifully
ornamented
with
gold
and
pearls
.
She
wore
a
blue
and
white-striped
vest
,
with
long
open
sleeves
,
trimmed
with
silver
loops
and
buttons
of
pearls
,
and
a
sort
of
bodice
,
which
,
closing
only
from
the
centre
to
the
waist
,
exhibited
the
whole
of
the
ivory
throat
and
upper
part
of
the
bosom
;
it
was
fastened
with
three
magnificent
diamond
clasps
.
The
junction
of
the
bodice
and
drawers
was
entirely
concealed
by
one
of
the
many-colored
scarfs
,
whose
brilliant
hues
and
rich
silken
fringe
have
rendered
them
so
precious
in
the
eyes
of
Parisian
belles
.
Tilted
on
one
side
of
her
head
she
had
a
small
cap
of
gold-colored
silk
,
embroidered
with
pearls
;
while
on
the
other
a
purple
rose
mingled
its
glowing
colors
with
the
luxuriant
masses
of
her
hair
,
of
which
the
blackness
was
so
intense
that
it
was
tinged
with
blue
.
The
extreme
beauty
of
the
countenance
,
that
shone
forth
in
loveliness
that
mocked
the
vain
attempts
of
dress
to
augment
it
,
was
peculiarly
and
purely
Grecian
;
there
were
the
large
,
dark
,
melting
eyes
,
the
finely
formed
nose
,
the
coral
lips
,
and
pearly
teeth
,
that
belonged
to
her
race
and
country
.
And
,
to
complete
the
whole
,
Haidee
was
in
the
very
springtide
and
fulness
of
youthful
charms
--
she
had
not
yet
numbered
more
than
twenty
summers
.

Monte
Cristo
summoned
the
Greek
attendant
,
and
bade
her
inquire
whether
it
would
be
agreeable
to
her
mistress
to
receive
his
visit
.
Haidee
's
only
reply
was
to
direct
her
servant
by
a
sign
to
withdraw
the
tapestried
curtain
that
hung
before
the
door
of
her
boudoir
,
the
framework
of
the
opening
thus
made
serving
as
a
sort
of
border
to
the
graceful
tableau
presented
by
the
young
girl
's
picturesque
attitude
and
appearance
.
As
Monte
Cristo
approached
,
she
leaned
upon
the
elbow
of
the
arm
that
held
the
narghile
,
and
extending
to
him
her
other
hand
,
said
,
with
a
smile
of
captivating
sweetness
,
in
the
sonorous
language
spoken
by
the
women
of
Athens
and
Sparta
,
"
Why
demand
permission
ere
you
enter
?
Are
you
no
longer
my
master
,
or
have
I
ceased
to
be
your
slave
?
"
Monte
Cristo
returned
her
smile
.
"
Haidee
,
"
said
he
,
"
you
well
know
.
"
"
Why
do
you
address
me
so
coldly
--
so
distantly
?
"
asked
the
young
Greek
.
"
Have
I
by
any
means
displeased
you
?
Oh
,
if
so
,
punish
me
as
you
will
;
but
do
not
--
do
not
speak
to
me
in
tones
and
manner
so
formal
and
constrained
.
"
"
Haidee
,
"
replied
the
count
,
"
you
know
that
you
are
now
in
France
,
and
are
free
.
"

"
Free
to
do
what
?
"
asked
the
young
girl
.
"
Free
to
leave
me
.
"
"
Leave
you
?
Why
should
I
leave
you
?
