The happy couple?
Bluebeard and his fourth wife Victoria.

“But of the little dancer nothing remained but the tinsel rose, which was burnt black as cinder.” ~Hans Christian Anderson
The Land of Faery,
Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.
Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.
