Jealous of her daughter-in-law, she idolized her son, and spoiled all her little grandchildren.

And so all are happy, and my simple tale is done.
I read it in an old, old book, in a mouldy old circulating library.
'Twas written in the French tongue, by the noble Alexandre Dumas; but 'tis probable that he stole it from some other, and that the other had filched it from a former tale-teller.

For nothing is new under the sun.
Things die and are reproduced only.

And so it is that the forgotten tale of the great Dumas reappears under the signature of THERESA MACWHIRTER.
