She then gave her a pair of glass slippers, the prettiest in the world.

She promised her godmother that she would not fail to leave the ball before midnight, and drove off, almost out of her mind with joy.,"Now you're safe and sound, with no bones broken," said Griffin, as Patricia sank down on the roomy couch.
