And as he came stepping along around a bush of blackthorn . . . he met a hare. |
12 |
“How shall we run?” |
15 |
They trudged along the high-road. |
19 |
They saw that the Princess was now asleep . . . and that her head lay so close to the Dragon that her hair was spread out like yellow silk upon its horny scales. |
25 |
So off they went together. |
33 |
At this the cock . . . yelled after him as he had never yelled before. |
35 |
“Turn-a-gain-Whit-ting-ton . . . Lord-Mayor-of-London-Town.” |
41 |
The King was pleased beyond measure. |
45 |
A necklace that would go round a slender neck. |
47 |
She was made to live in a dark, stone-flagged kitchen with nothing but rats, mice, and cockroaches for company. |
51 |
Looking in their wigs and powder more like bunched-up fantastic monkeys than human beings. |
56 |
Straight out of the ball-room she scampered . . . down the marble staircase. |
64 |
Every morning the soles of the twelve Princesses’ slippers were . . . worn through to the very welts. |
69 |
“Alas, sisters, a hand is clutching at me!” |
75 |
She couldn’t even pass a puddle without peeping down into it at her apple cheeks and yellow hair. |
82 |
“They are looking at me as I go along . . . in my bright red hood.” |
85 |
“I’ve come all the way by myself in my new red riding-hood!” |
89 |
He climbed and climbed and he climbed. |
97 |
In the distance . . . stood a huge, louring Castle. |
99 |
Still the Ogre came after him . . . yelling as he ran. |
114 |
The farmer stood and marvelled. |
120 |
Everyone marvelled. |
123 |
The fox led him . . . through the woods and over the crest of the hill . . . till they at last came down to a mill. |
133 |
Danced a little dance all to himself in the moonlight. |
134 |
“What a dreadful, dreadful, dreadful thing it would be!” |
137 |
He was the silliest silly of all silly sillies. |
142 |
Bluebeard’s Castle. |
147 |
“How strange . . . that such an old bachelor as Bluebeard was . . . should have all these fine females’ clothes!” |
150 |
Fatima could make no answer; she could only stare at him, quaking all over. |
153 |
“Looking-glass, looking-glass on the wall, Who is the fairest of women all?” |
157 |
Towards evening, the Seven Dwarfs came home. |
160 |
She showed her pretty stay-laces. |
164 |
This chamber was built high aloft above the topmost roof of the palace. |
172 |
The Princess . . . bandaged her eyes with three silk scarves. |
179 |
“Well I never, you are a handsome creature!” |
183 |
“Hi, there! Stop! Stop! . . . Just one! Only one!” |
186 |
She sat there weeping. |
189 |
All that night the Queen lay wide awake, a glimmering light beside her bed. |
195 |
“A bargain’s a bargain.” |
198 |
Glancing over her shoulder, she turned the key. |
203 |
He made his way over the rotting drawbridge, and went into the castle. |
209 |
For a while he could see nothing. |
211 |
She rose up softly, and . . . changed over one by one the necklaces. |
216 |
“Woe betide ye, Molly Whuppie, If ye e’er come back again!” |
221 |
For years she pined in vain. |
226 |
“I come, Rapunzel!” |
228 |
