"She was doomed to sleep a hundred years, until the prince came to waken her with a kiss." "And is she still waiting?" asked Everychild. "I haven't a doubt in the world that she is still waiting." "She is always waiting," said the dreamy voice of the Masked Lady. "But not not here?" asked Everychild. "There's never any telling where you'll find things," replied Cinderella.
In another there was Everychild, being held close to his mother's side, while the father stood apart, his hands in his trousers pockets and a complacent smile on his lips. There was the lamp shade with the red beads, and the clock like a state capitol, and everything.
I should also explain that the messages she was sending and receiving with the aid of the white doves all had a bearing upon the plan she had in mind of taking Everychild, ere long, upon the most difficult journey he was ever to make. Although silence reigned in the room, there was the murmur of children's voices in the distance, occasionally rising to a joyous shout.
This seemed a bit strange to Everychild, but he said politely, "I'm very fond of sitting on the floor myself." And so they sat down on the floor and clasped their hands about their knees. "And so this is where you live!" said Everychild, looking about him with frank interest. "It is where I did live. I'll live here no more, now that I've found somebody to run away with.
He seemed to know that this splendid stranger would lead him presently, and he was not certain whether he should wish to be led or not whether it would be good or evil to be led by him. His musing and wonder were broken in upon by Jack, who was again speaking. "I'll give you a little exhibition of my skill," he said, "I'll have his life before your very eyes." Everychild became greatly troubled.
And there never was a poor dog except one with a mean master or mistress." At that moment, the little black dog, weary of looking at the cupboard, approached Tom and flopped down beside him. "And that's her dog," said Everychild musingly. "He's mine, really," explained Tom, "though I always try to think of him as hers. You take a fellow like me and he'd rather not own a dog.
But to know that you're never to be praised or loved; to have your mother look at you coldly, and say nothing or just to have her pay no attention at all, but to act as if a wrong had been done her somehow . . . a whipping would be easy, compared with that." Everychild took her up with swift comprehension. "I know what you mean," he declared.
All he does is hit you over the head with a club and turn you over to the lady to her with the bandage that's always slipping off." There was a silence, and then Everychild remarked: "Still, it's not plain why they're all sitting around here where your your mother . . ." "It's just a pose," said the giant. "What I can't understand is why my mother doesn't denounce them all. They do no end of harm.
She drove him away with her precise little ways, and now he's forgotten." Everychild could scarcely conceal his surprise. He hadn't supposed it was that Hubbard. "And so this is where Old Mother Hubbard lives," he said, looking about him with new interest.
They surrounded it, closing it with frenzied hands. The giant drew apart, giving no explanation to Everychild just at first. But standing alone and heart-broken he lifted his hands high. "She is gone!" he cried in a hoarse, agonized whisper. The devotees lifted their voices in a triumphant chorus "She is within!"
