I am only Mrs. Geoffrey.",The wedding was hardly over before the stepmother's ill-humour broke out. She could not endure the young girl, whose good qualities made her own daughters appear still more detestable. She put her to do all the most menial work in the house. It was she who washed up the plates and dishes, and cleaned the stairs; who scrubbed the stepmother's room, and those of her daughters. She slept in a garret at the top of the house, on a wretched straw mattress, while her sisters occupied rooms with inlaid floors, and had the latest fashioned beds, and mirrors in which they could see themselves from head to foot.

"They don't all go out at the rests, you know."，"Shall we go on or wait for him here?" asked Isabella in a whisper."Oh, I hope it happens next summer, when we're home!" she cried.
