The Goose Girl

CHAPTER IX
29/30

"Whenever you wish to see the gardens," added the princess, "the gates will be open for you." As Gretchen went back to the Krumerweg her wooden shoes were golden slippers and her rough homespun, silk.

Rich! Famous! She saw the opera ablaze with lights, she heard the roll of applause.

She saw the horn of plenty pouring its largess from the fair sky.
