Page:History of Cinderella, or, The little glass slipper (3).pdf/13

 Cinderella was so much taken up with the dancing and the civilities of the young prince, that the evening passed away before she was aware; and the clock struck twelve when she supposed that it could scarcely bobe [sic] eleven. Alarmed, she sprung from her seat, and almost flow out of the ball-room.

The prince pursued her, which made Cinderella run thothe [sic] faster, and, in the hurry, she dropped one of her glass slippers, which he picked up.



Fatigued and breathless, it was with difficulty that CindcrellaCinderella [sic] reached home, in her old clothing, without coach, attendants, or any of her grandeur, except the romainingremaining [sic] glass slipper, which she carefully put in her pocket.

The prince, who had lost sight of Cinderella when hohe [sic] stooped to lift up the slipper, inquired at thothe [sic] guards if they had seen a magnificent princess pass through thothe [sic] palace gates; but they said, that no one had gone out except a poor beggar girl.

When the sistorssisters [sic] of Cinderella came homohome [sic], she inquired, if they had been as well amused as at the former ball, and if the boautifulbeautiful [sic] princess had been therothere [sic]? They said shoshe [sic] had; but, as the clock struck twelve, shoshe [sic] flew out of the ballroom, and in the haste, had dropped one of her fine shaped glass slippers; that the king's son having found the slipper, did nothing but admire it during the remainder of the ball, and every person said he was violently in lovolove [sic] with the beautiful princess.
