To be deprived of any single opportunity of displaying her charms and consequent triumphs would indeed have been a hardship, and to nothing short of a very serious indisposition would Madame Mildau have sacrificed her pleasure. TO BE DEPRIVED OF ANY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY OF DISPLAYING HER CHARMS AND CONSEQUENT TRIUMPHS WOULD INDEED HAVE BEEN A HARDSHIP AND TO NOTHING SHORT OF A VERY SERIOUS INDISPOSITION WOULD MADAME MILDOU HAVE SACRIFICED HER PLEASURE
arer into a werwolf. Both have the same peculiar vividness of colour, the same thick, sticky sap, and the same sickly, faint odour. They are both natives of Austria-Hungary and the Balkan Peninsula, and are occasionally to be met with in damp, marshy places. Certain flowers (lilies-of-the-valley, marigolds, and azaleas), as also diamonds, are said to attract werwolves, thus proving a source of danger to those who wear them. And _à propos_ of this magnetic property of diamonds the following anecdote comes to me from the Tyrol:-- A WERWOLF IN INNSBRUCK Madame Mildau was one of the prettiest women in Innsbruck. She had golden hair, large violet eyes, a smile that would melt a Loyola, and diamonds that set every woman's mouth watering. With such inducements to seduction, how could Madame Mildau help delighting in balls and fêtes, and in promenading constantly before the public? She revelled in a universal admiration--she aimed at a monopoly--and she lived wholly and solely to exact homage.
