They were now in great delight, and very busy choosing the most becoming gowns and head-dresses. A new mortification for poor Cinderella, for it was she who had to iron her sisters' fine linen, and goffer their ruffles. No one talked of anything but of the style in which they were to be dressed. "I," said the eldest, "will wear my red velvet dress, and my English point-lace trimmings." "I," said the youngest, "shall only wear my usual petticoat; but, to make up for that, I shall put on my gold-flowered cloak, and my clasp of diamonds, which are none of the least valuable."

Cinderella gave them the best advice in the world, and even offered to dress their hair for them, which they were very willing she should do.,In desperation he stood still, gazing at the windows above; reprimanding the dog sharply when he whined, though his fingers unconsciously patted away the sting of the rebuke.,"Then you didn't go out much in Ireland?" she says, thinking it more graceful to change the conversation at this point.,"I like that!" she cried.

"Ho, Billy!" he called cheerfully. "Is it you?"，"What! Have you spoken to her?"，“Gee whiz!” whistled Bob, the suddenness of the turn the talk had taken amazing him. “Then—then what I did was right?”，“Yes, we can,” said Johnny Blossom, bracing his feet more firmly against the bottom of the boat.She had not taken another thirty steps, when Riquet with the Tuft presented himself before her, gaily and splendidly attired, like a Prince about to be married.

Yet why should I be blamed?","All the same, she sees that Kendall Major is about to snatch the laurel wreath from all our heads, and she doesn't want to do without any of her ornaments.",Little by little the boy fed the smoldering ravelings of his shirt with the other piles, holding in the center of the glowing coal the smallest of the sticks.,In a minute or two the whole affair proves itself a very small thing indeed, with little that can be termed tragical about it.

He seemed anxious to get it out.,"Anywhere you like.
