Cinderella Once there was a gentleman who married for a second wife,

the proudest and most haughty woman that was ever seen. She had, by a former husband, two daughters of her own humour, who 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. No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over,

but the mother-in-law began to show herself in her true colours. She could not bear the 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 and scrub the madam's chamber. She lay up in a sorry garret upon a wretched straw bed, while her sisters lay in a fine room with floors all inlaid, looking-glasses so large that they might see themselves at their full length, from head to foot. Poor girl bore or

patiently, and dared not tell her father who would have rattled her off, for his wife governed him entirely. 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 wench, but the youngest, who was not so rude and uncivil as the elder sister called her Cinderella.

However, Cinderella, notwithstanding her mean apparel, was a hundred times handsomer than her sisters, though they were dressed very richly. It happened that the king's son gave a ball and invited all persons of fashion to it. Our young missus were also invited, for they cut a very grand figure among the quality. They were mightily delighted at this invitation,

and wonderfully busy in choosing out such gowns, petticoats, and head clothes, as might become them. This was a new trouble to Cinderella, for it was she who ironed her sister's 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 have my usual petticoat, but then to make amends for that, I will put on my gold-flowered mantal and my diamond stomacher,

which is far from being the most ordinary one in the world. They sent for the best tire woman that could get to make up their headdresses, and they had their red brushes and patches from Mademoiselle de la Push. Cinderella was likewise called up to them to be consulted in all these matters, for she had excellent notions and advised them always, nay, and offered her services to dress their heads, which they were very willing she should do. As she was doing this, they said to her, Cinderella, would you not be glad to go to the ball?

Alas, said she, you only cheer me. It is not for such as I am to go thither. Thou art, in the right of it, they replied. It would make the people laugh to see a cinder wench at a ball. Anyone but Cinderella 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 were they transported with joy. They broke above a dozen laces in trying to be laced up close,

that they might have a fine slender shape continually at their looking glass. At last the happy day came. They went to court and Cinderella followed them with her eyes as long as she could, and when she had lost sight of them she fell a crying. Her godmother who saw her in tears asked her what was the matter. I wish I could, I wish I could. She was not able to speed the rest, being interrupted by her tears and sobbing. The godmother of hers, who was a fairy, said to her,

thou wishest thou couldst go to the ball, is it not so? Yes, cried Cinderella with a great sigh. Well, said her godmother, be but a good girl, and I will contrive that thou shalt go. Then she took into her chamber and said to her, run into the garden and bring me a pumpkin. Cinderella went immediately to gather the finest one she could get and brought it to her godmother

not being able to imagine how this pumpkin could make her go to the ball her godmother scooped out all the insides of it having left nothing but the rind when done she struck it with her wand and the pumpkin was instantly turned turned into a fine coach, gilded all over with gold. She then went to look into her mousetrap, where she found six mice all alive and ordered Cinderella to lift up a little the trap door when, giving each mouse as it went out, a little

tap with her wand, mouse was that moment turned into a fine horse, which altogether made a very fine set of six horses of a beautiful mouse-coloured dappled grey at a loss for a coachman. I will go see, says Cinderella. If there is never a rat in the rat trap, we may make a coachman of him. Bow art in the right, replied her godmother, Go and look. Cinderella brought the trap to her and in it there were three huge rats.

The fairy made choice of one of the three which had the largest beard and having touched him with her hand he was turned into a fat, jolly coachman who had the smartest whiskers ever to beheld. After that, she said to her, Go again into the garden, and you will find six lizards behind the watering pot.

Bring them to me. She had no sooner done so, but her godmother turned them into six footmen who skipped up immediately behind the coach, with their liveries all bedoubbed, with gold and silver, and clung as close behind each other as if they had done nothing else their whole lives. The fairy then said to Cinderella, well you see here, an equipage fit to go to the ball with,

Are you not pleased with it? Oh yes, she cried, but I must go thither, as I am, in these nasty rags? Her godmother only just touched her with her wand And at the same instant Her clothes were turned into cloth Of gold and silver All beset with jewels This stone

She gave her a pair of glass slippers The prettiest in the whole world Being thus decked out She got up into her coach But her godmother above all things, commanded her not to stay till after midnight, telling her at the same time that if she stayed one moment longer, a coach would be a pumpkin again, her horses, mice, her coachman a rat, her footmen lizards, and her clothes become just as they were before.

She promised her godmother she would not fail of leaving the ball before midnight and then away she drives, scarce able to contain herself for joy. The king's son who was told that a great princess whom nobody knew was come, ran out to receive her, he gave her his hand. As she alighted out of the coach and led her into the ball, there was immediately a violin ceased to play. So attentive was everyone to contemplate the singular beauties of the unknown newcomer.

Nothing was then heard but a confused noise of her, how handsome she is, how handsome she is. The king himself, old as he was, could not help watching her and telling the queen, softly that it was a long time since

he had seen so beautiful and lovely a creature and the ladies were busied in considering her clothes and her headdress that they might have some made next day after the same pattern provided they could meet with such fine material as able hands to make them the king's son conducted her

to the most honourable seat and afterward took her out to dance with him. She danced so very gracefully that they all more and more admired her. The relation was served up, whereof the young prince ate not a morsel. So intently was he busied, engaging on her and sat down by her sisters,

showing them a thousand civilities, giving them part of the oranges, and citrons, which the prince had presented her, which very much surprised them, for they did not know her, while Cinderella was thus amusing her sisters, she heard the clock strike eleven and three quarters, whereupon she immediately made a curtsy to the company

and hasted away as she could. When she got home, she ran to seek out her god. godmother, and, after having thanked her, she said she could not but hardly wish she might go next day to the ball, because the king's son had desired her. As she was eagerly telling her godmother, whatever had passed at the pool, her two sisters knocked at the door, which Cinderella ran and opened. How long have you stayed? cried she. Gaping and rubbing her eye, and stretching herself, as if she had just waked out of asleep. She had not, however, any manner of inclination to sleep, since they went from home.

If thou hasn't been at the ball, said one of the sisters, thou wouldn't not have been tied with it. They came thither the finest princess, the most beautiful ever, was seen with. with mortal eyes, she showed us a thousand civilities and gave us oranges and citrons. Cinderella seemed very indifferent to the matter. Indeed, she asked them the name of the princess, but they told her they did not know of it, and that the king's son was very uneasy on her account, and would give all the world to know who she was. At their own, Cinderella smiling replied, She must then be very beautiful indeed.

How happy you have been! Could not I see her? Ah, dear Miss Charlotte, do lend me your yellow suit of clothes, which you wear every day. I, to be sure, cried Miss Charlotte, send my clothes as such a dirty cinder wench as thou art. A fool I would be.

Cinderella indeed expected well such an answer and was very glad of the refusal, for she would have been sadly put to if her sister had lent her what she asked for, justingly. The next day the two sisters were at the ball and so was Cinderella, but dressed more magnificently than before. The king's son was always by her and never seen. his compliments and kind speeches to her, to whom all this was so far from being tiresome, that she quite forgot what her godmother had recommended to her, so that she at last counted the clock striking, 12 when she took it to be no more than 11. She then rose up and flared as nimble as a deer. The prince followed but could not overtake her.

She left behind one of her glass slippers, which the prince took up most carefully. She got home but quite out of breath, and in her nasty old clothes, having nothing left of all her finery but one of the little slippers, fallow to that she had dropped. The guards at the palace gate were asked

If they had not seen a princess go out Who said They had not 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 lay had been there. They told her yes, but she was hurried away immediately when it struck 12, and with so much haste that she dropped one of her little glass livers, the prettiest in the world, which the king's son had taken up, that he had done nothing, but look at her all the time at the ball, and the most certainly he was very much in love with the beautiful person who own the glass slipper.

What they said was very true for a few days after the king's son caused it to be proclaimed by sound of trumpet that he would marry her whose foot the slipper would just fit. By whom he employed began to try to palm the princesses Then the Duchesses and all of the court, but in vain it was brought to the two sisters who did all they possibly could to thrust their foot into the slipper, but they could not affect it. Cinderella, who saw this and knew her slipper, said to them laughing,

let me see if it will not fit me. 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 It came her godmother, who, having touched her with her wand, Cinderella's clothes made them richer and more magnificent than any of those she had before. Now her two sisters found her to be that fine, beautiful lady who they had seen at the ball.

They threw themselves at her feet to beg pardon for all the ill-treatment they had made, her undergo. Cinderella took them up and as she embraced them cried, that she forgave them with all her heart and desired them always to love her. She was conducted to the young prince, dressed as she was, he thought her more charming than ever, and a few days after, married her. Cinderella, who was no less good than I'm beautiful, gave her two sisters lodging in the court and that very same day match them with two great lords of the court. Welcome to this guided meditation.
