“Cinderella’s mother-in-law began to show herself in her true colors. She could not bear the good qualities of her pretty stepdaughter, so she employed Cinderella in meanest work of the house: she scoured the dishes, tables, etc., and kept the whole house clean; she lay upon a wretched straw bed, while her sisters lay in fine rooms, upon beds of the very newest fashion.The poor girl bore all 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 a cinder maid; but the youngest, who was not so rude and uncivil as the eldest, called her Cinderella.”
