Cinderella

She got home

but quite out of breath, and in her nasty old clothes,

having nothing left her of all her finery but one of the

little slippers, fellow to that she dropped. The guards at

the palace gate were asked:

If they had not seen a princess go out.

Who said: They had seen nobody go out but a young

girl, very meanly dressed, and who had more the air of a

poor country wench than a gentlewoman.

When the two sisters returned from the ball Cinderella

asked them: If they had been well diverted, and if the

fine lady had been there.
