We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
SCENE I An old-fashioned kitchen with large fireplace Cinderella, in rags, polishing a copper kettle. Her step- mother and stepsisters enter and begin scolding her and ordering her from one task to another. These finished, the stepmother maliciously throws a handful of pumpkin seeds into the ashes on the hearth and commands Cinderella to pick them out. Stepmother and daughters laugh at her dismay and weariness and leave the room.

Quite satisfied with them- selves, they leave the room. SCENE III Same as Scene I Cinderella kneeling on hearth. Stepmother and daugh- ters enter and flaunt their finery before the little drudge. They give her final instructions, order her to open the door for them, and sweep out, laughing among themselves. Cinderella goes to the window and wistfully watches them depart.
