Excerpt: ...See page 86 Pg 89 'Fortune!' said she, 'you have taken from me the love of my father. I have received a blow at a tender age; and it is so much pain that I am tired of living.

Florine, who knew that if she said the Blue Bird had given them to her, they would not believe her, and would try to drive Pg 90 him away, said she did not know.
