The Red Shoes (12) [The Red Shoes]

The Red Shoes (12)

  " Mercy ! " screamed Karen, but heard not what the angel answered, for her red shoes carried her away, down through the churchyard, over the meadows, along the highways, through the lanes ; always dancing.

  One morning she danced past a house that she knew well.

  From inside she heard psalms being sung.
  The door opened and a coffin decked with flowers was carried out.
  The old lady who had been so kind to her was dead. Now she felt taht she was forsaken by all of mankind and cursed by God's angel.

  Dance she must, and dance she did. The shoes carried her across fields and meadows, through nettles and briars that tore her feet so they bled.

  One morning she danced across the lonely heath until she came to a solitary cottage.
  Here, she knew, the executionar lived.

  With her fingers she tapped on his window.
  " Come out ! Come out ! " she called.
  " I cannot come inside, for I must dance. "
