It will be to his interest not to hurt her. Be sure of it, she will be as well cared for as she is here, if not better." Thus they talked all evening. Mother Etienne, feverishly affectionate, looked at the hen lying as usual asleep in the chimney corner. She could not make up her mind to sell her sweet Cinderella.
