Cinderella (10)

Cinderella (10)

The king's son led her to the most honorable seat, and afterwards took her by the hand and danced with her.
She danced so very gracefully that they all more and more admired her.

Furthermore, he would dance with no one else.
He never let go of her hand, and whenever anyone else came and asked her to dance, he would say, "She is my dance partner." 

All the ladies were busied in considering her clothes and head-dress, hoping to have some made next day, if they could find such fine materials and as able hands to make them. 

A fine meal was served up, but the young prince ate not a morsel, so intently was he busied in gazing on her.

Cinderella went and sat down by her sisters, showing them a thousand civilities, giving them part of the oranges and citrons which the prince had presented her with.
This much surprised them indeed, for they did not know her.

While Cinderella was thus amusing her sisters, suddenly she heard the clock strike eleven hours and three-quarters.
She immediately got her feet and made a courtesy to the company and hurried away as fast as she could. 

The Prince realized that unknown girl had jumped into the golden carriage and gone.
