Nora was begging that Esther might be put off till the last. Mrs. Sandford and Preston objected. They chose that it should come next. "Here is Priscilla," said Hamilton Rush, "I beg pardon! it is Cinderella's wicked sister I don't know what her name was. Let us have your vote, my angel; I will address you in your prospective character; will you put on your wings at once?
So were, probably, Cinderella's sisters loud in her praise, when the prince at last took her from the chimney-corner, and married her. They had kept for themselves, to be sure, as long as they could, the delights and opportunities of life; while she had taken the place assigned her in her early days, "which was very low," as Mrs. Somerville says.
This was what she facetiously called herself one July morning of that summer she was eighteen. Cinderella in more senses than one, for never had the city seemed more dirty or more deserted, or indeed, more stifling. Winter and its festivities were a dream laid away in moth balls. Surely Cinderella's life had held no greater contrasts!
The little boy was about to reply when something almost alarming happened. The little boy slipped his hand away from Everychild's and shrank back until he was hiding behind Cinderella's skirt. An astonishing head and shoulders appeared above the top of the shoe! The Old Woman who Lived in the Shoe had heard them. She remained perched in her place, glaring severely about the yard below.
They were Cinderella's sisters. The first sister had opened the door just in time to hear what Cinderella said; and now she rather cleverly imitated Cinderella's words and manner "'Oh, the wonder of it! The wonder of what?" For a moment longer Cinderella gazed into space, her eyes holding a glorious vision.
"There's nothing much in it; it's merely a variation of Cinderella's slipper. Well, once upon a time there was an eccentric young prince who'd had his fling in his day, but had arrived at the lonely age of thirty without having met a woman whom he could love enough to make his wife.
Her godmother then made her appearance; and, having touched Cinderella's clothes with her wand, made them still more magnificent than those she had previously worn. Her two sisters now recognized her for the beautiful stranger they had seen at the ball; and, falling at her feet, implored her forgiveness for their unworthy treatment, and all the insults they had heaped upon her head.
When Cinderella's sisters went to the king's ball, and Cinderella was left alone, did not she long to go too? Did not she envy her sisters?" "Ah! I understand now: Sir Charles spoke of the Court Ball." "And you were there talking with handsome ladies and oh! I was so foolish and felt sore."
She had filled one hand with golden guineas, and now poured a Danäe-stream into Olive's lap. Then, laughing and skipping about like a child, she vanished the beneficent little fairy! as swiftly as Cinderella's godmother. Olive sat mute, her eyes fixed on the "bits of shining gold," which seemed to look different to all other pieces of gold that she had ever seen.
As a result of all these preparations, Dora Carlson arrived at the gymnasium in a state of mind that she herself aptly compared to Cinderella's on the night of her first ball. She had a keen appreciation of the beautiful, and she had never seen any one so absolutely lovely as Eleanor in evening dress.
