G.—I thought it would! (Waves wand again.) Anything else?
P.—Yes! Yes! The two brown rats have changed into a coachman and footman.
G.—(Waves wand.) Anything else?
P.—Yes! Yes! The little mice have turned into six beautiful horses with long tails and harness shining with silver.
G.—Well, will that do to drive you to the ball, do you think?
P.—Oh, Godmother, how delightful! Let me get into it and drive off!
G.—One moment, Cinderella! I must make a condition before you start. You must promise not to remain at the ball after midnight. If you are there after the last stroke of twelve, your beautiful silver clothes will disappear, and you will have on your rags again.
P.—Oh, I promise, dear Godmother. Of course I will leave before twelve.
G.—Then come, Princess Cinderella! your glass coach stops the way.
