Woman Quotes
-
The old men of the village of Mahotière say that the Mistress of the Water is a mulatto woman.

Her curse takes him like a fish in a net and the Mistress of the Water awaits him on the edge of the spring and smiles upon him and tells him to follow her to the depths, from which he will never return.
