The fairy, however, before she took leave of Cinderella, strictly charged her on no account whatever to stay at the ball after the clock had struck twelve, telling her that, should she stay but a single moment after that time, her coach would again become a pumpion, her horses mice, her footmen lizards, and her fine clothes be changed to filthy rags.
..... later-on .....
Cinderella smiled and said: ''Dear miss Charlotte, lend me only the yellow gown you wear everyday, and let me go see her.'' Charlotte replied, ''Oh! yes I warrant you; lend my clothes to a Cinderbreech! Do you really suppose me such a fool? No, no: pray, miss Forward, mind your proper business, and leave dress and balls to your betters.''
You asked for it paranoid! Ha!
