Cinderella

Her sisters burst out a-laughing, and began to banter

her. The gentleman who was sent to try the slipper looked

earnestly at Cinderella, and, finding her very handsome,

said:

It was but just that she should try, and that he had

orders to let everyone make trial.

He obliged Cinderella to sit down, and, putting the

slipper to her foot, he found it went on very easily, and

fitted her as if it had been made of wax. The astonishment

her two sisters were in was excessively great, but

still abundantly greater when Cinderella pulled out of her

pocket the other slipper, and put it on her foot.
