Cinderella (8) [Cinderella]

Cinderella (8)

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 bedaubed with gold and silver.
They stayed in line as if they had done nothing else their whole lives.

The fairy godmother then said to Cinderella, "Well, you see here a carriage fit to go to the festival with; are you not pleased with it?"

"Oh, yes, indeed, " she cried; "but must I go in these nasty rags?"

Now it was Cinderella's turn to be tapped by the magic wand.
Her godmother then touched her with her wand, and, at the same instant, her horrid rag clothes turned into cloth of gold and silver, all beset with jewels.

This done, she gave Cinderella a pair of glass slippers, the prettiest in the whole world.

Being thus decked out, she got up into her coach and was ready to set off.
But her godmother, above all things, commanded her,
" Cinderella, You are not allowed to stay one moment after midnight. If you stayed one moment longer,  the coach would turn back into a pumpkin again, your horses into mice, your coachman a rat, your footmen lizards, and that your beautiful clothes would become just as they were before.

Cinderella promised her godmother to leave the ball before midnight.

Then she drove away with all magical things, scarcely able to contain herself for joy.
