Cinderella

1
Once
there
was
a
gentleman
who
married
,
for
his
second
wife
,
the
proudest
and
most
haughty
woman
that
was
ever
seen
.
She
had
,
by
a
former
husband
,
two
daughters
of
her
own
humour
and
they
were
indeed
exactly
like
her
in
all
things
.
He
had
likewise
,
by
another
wife
,
a
young
daughter
,
but
of
unparalleled
goodness
and
sweetness
of
temper
,
which
she
took
from
her
mother
,
who
was
the
best
creature
in
the
world
.
2
No
sooner
were
the
ceremonies
of
the
wedding
over
,
but
the
stepmother
began
to
shew
herself
in
her
colours
.
She
could
not
bear
the
good
qualities
of
this
pretty
girl
;
and
the
less
,
because
they
made
her
own
daughters
appear
the
more
odious
.
She
employed
her
in
the
meanest
work
of
the
house
;
she
scoured
the
dishes
,
tables
,
etc.
and
rubbed
Madam
's
chamber
,
and
those
of
Misses
,
her
daughters
;
she
lay
up
in
a
sorry
garret
,
upon
a
wretched
straw-bed
,
while
her
sisters
lay
in
fine
rooms
,
with
floors
all
inlaid
,
upon
beds
of
the
very
newest
fashion
,
and
where
they
had
looking-glasses
so
large
,
that
they
might
see
themselves
at
their
full
length
,
from
head
to
foot
.
3
The
poor
girl
bore
all
patiently
,
and
dared
not
tell
her
father
,
who
would
have
rattled
her
off
;
for
his
wife
governed
him
intirely
.
When
she
had
done
her
work
,
she
used
to
go
into
the
chimney-corner
,
and
sit
down
among
cinders
and
ashes
,
which
made
her
commonly
be
called
Cinder-breech
;
but
the
youngest
,
who
was
not
so
rude
and
uncivil
as
the
eldest
,
called
her
Cinderilla
.
However
,
Cinderilla
,
notwithstanding
her
mean
apparel
,
was
a
hundred
times
handsomer
than
her
sisters
,
tho
'
they
were
always
dressed
very
richly
.

It
happened
that
the
King
's
son
gave
a
ball
,
and
invited
all
persons
of
fashion
to
it
.
Our
young
misses
were
also
invited
;
for
they
cut
a
very
grand
figure
among
the
quality
.
They
were
mightily
delighted
at
this
invitation
,
and
wonderfully
busy
in
chusing
out
such
gowns
,
petticoats
,
and
head-clothes
as
might
best
become
them
.
This
was
a
new
trouble
to
Cinderilla
;
for
it
was
she
who
ironed
her
sisters
'
linen
,
and
plaited
their
ruffles
;
they
talked
all
day
long
of
nothing
but
how
they
should
be
dressed
.
"
For
my
part
,
"
said
the
eldest
,
"
I
will
wear
my
red
velvet
suit
,
with
French
trimming
.
"
"
And
I
,
"
said
the
youngest
,
"
shall
only
have
my
usual
petticoat
;
but
then
,
to
make
amends
for
that
,
I
will
put
on
my
gold-flowered
manteau
,
and
my
diamond
stomacher
,
which
is
far
from
being
the
most
ordinary
one
in
the
world
.
"
They
sent
for
the
best
tire-woman
they
could
get
,
to
make
up
their
head-dresses
,
and
adjust
their
double-pinners
,
and
they
had
their
red
brushes
,
and
patches
from
the
fashionable
maker
.
5
Cinderilla
was
likewise
called
up
to
them
to
be
consulted
in
all
these
matters
,
for
she
had
excellent
notions
,
and
advised
them
always
for
the
best
,
nay
and
offered
her
service
to
dress
their
heads
,
which
they
were
very
willing
she
should
do
.
As
she
was
doing
this
,
they
said
to
her
:
6
"
Cinderilla
,
would
you
not
be
glad
to
go
to
the
ball
?
"
7
"
Ah
!
"
said
she
,
"
you
only
jeer
at
me
;
it
is
not
for
such
as
I
am
to
go
thither
.

"
Thou
art
in
the
right
of
it
,
"
replied
they
,
"
it
would
make
the
people
laugh
to
see
a
Cinder-breech
at
a
ball
.
"
9
Any
one
but
Cinderilla
would
have
dressed
their
heads
awry
,
but
she
was
very
good
,
and
dressed
them
perfectly
well
.
They
were
almost
two
days
without
eating
,
so
much
they
were
transported
with
joy
;
they
broke
above
a
dozen
of
laces
in
trying
to
be
laced
up
close
,
that
they
might
have
a
fine
slender
shape
,
and
they
were
continually
at
their
looking-glass
.
At
last
the
happy
day
came
;
they
went
to
Court
,
and
Cinderilla
followed
them
with
her
eyes
as
long
as
she
could
,
and
when
she
had
lost
sight
of
them
she
fell
a-crying
.
10
Her
godmother
,
who
saw
her
all
in
tears
,
asked
her
what
was
the
matter
.
