The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Followed the King, Who Went Up First"], sentence 21

She employed her in the meanest work of the house; she scoured the dishes, tables, &c. and rubbed Madam's chamber, and those of Misses, her daughters; she lay up in a sorry garret, upon a wretched straw-bed, while her sisters lay in fine rooms, with floors all inlaid, upon beds of the very newest fashion, and where they had looking-glasses so large, that they might see themselves at their full length, from head to foot.

Who acts: daughter, sisters, house · What happens: employ, scour, rub, lie up, lay, inlay · To what, where: stepmother, meanest work, dishes, chamber, sorry garret, fine rooms
