Theophile Gautier. Captain Fracasse (№ 434838)

The servants of the Marquis de Bruyère, lordly haughty, like all lackeys from a good house, squeamishly, with a contemptuous expression, touched this theatrical rubbish, helped to transfer it to a shed, where they laid it out according to the instructions of the Tyrant, the director of the troupe; they considered it humiliating to serve comedians, but once the Marquis ordered, they had to obey - he did not tolerate disobedience and was Asian-generous in the whip.
