+In former times, a rich man and his wife were the parents of a beautiful
+little daughter; but before she had arrived at womanhood, her dear
+mother fell sick, and seeing that death was near, she called her little
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">6</a></span>child to her, and thus addressed her: &#8220;My child, always be good, and
+bear everything that occurs to you with patience; then, whatever toil
+and troubles you may suffer during life, happiness will be your lot in
+the end.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>After uttering these words the poor lady died, and her daughter was
+overwhelmed with grief at the loss of so good and kind a mother.</p>
+
+<p>The father, too, was very unhappy; but he sought to get rid of his
+sorrow by marrying another wife; and he looked for some amiable lady who
+might be a second mother to his child, and a companion to himself.
+Unfortunately, his choice fell on a widow lady, of a proud and
+overbearing temper, who had two daughters by a former marriage, both as
+haughty and bad-tempered as herself.</p>
+
+<p>Before marriage this woman had the cunning to conceal her bad qualities
+so well that she appeared to be very amiable; but the marriage was
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">7</a></span>scarcely over when her real character showed itself. She could not
+endure her amiable step-daughter, with all her charming qualifications;
+for they only made her own daughters appear more hateful. She gave her
+the most degrading occupations, and compelled her to wash the dishes and
+clean the stairs, and to sweep her own rooms and those of her
+sisters-in-law.
+<img src="images/illus-007a.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-007b.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+When the poor girl had finished her work, she used to sit in the
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">8</a></span>chimney-corner amongst the cinders, which made her sisters give
+her the name of &#8220;Cinderella.&#8221; However, in her shabby clothes Cinderella
+was ten times handsomer than her sisters, let them be ever so
+magnificently dressed.</p>
+
+<p>The poor girl slept in the garret, upon a wretched straw mattress,
+whilst the bed-chambers of her sisters were furnished with every luxury
+and elegance, and provided with mirrors, in which they could survey
+themselves from head to foot. The amiable creature bore this ill
+treatment with patience, and did not venture to complain to her father,
+who was so completely governed by his wife that he would only have
+scolded her.</p>
+
+<p>It happened that the king's son sent invitations to a ball, which was to
+last two nights, and to which all the great people of the land were
+invited, the two sisters among the rest. This delighted them extremely,
+and their thoughts were entirely occupied in selecting their most
+becoming dresses for the important occasion. Poor Cinderella had now
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">9</a></span>more work to do than ever, as it was her business to iron their linen,
+and starch their ruffles. The sisters talked of nothing but preparations
+for the ball. The eldest said, &#8220;I shall wear my crimson-velvet dress,
+and point-lace;&#8221; and the younger, &#8220;I shall put on my usual
+dress-petticoat, a mantle embroidered with gold flowers, and a tiara of
+diamonds.&#8220; They sent to engage the services of the most fashionable
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">10</a></span>hairdresser. They also called Cinderella to their aid; for she had very
+good taste, and she offered, in the most amiable manner, to arrange
+their heads herself; of which offer they were only too happy to avail
+themselves.
+<img src="images/illus-009a.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-009b.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-009c.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-009d.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+Whilst so occupied, the eldest said, &#8220;Cinderella, should you like to go
+to the ball?&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;Alas!&#8221; said she, &#8220;you are ridiculing me. I am not likely to go to the
+ball.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;You are right,&#8221; replied the sister; &#8220;people would be amused to see a
+Cinderella there.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>If Cinderella had been at all unamiable she might have dressed their
+heads all awry, for such unkindness; but she returned good for evil, and
+did it in the best possible style.</p>
+
+<p>The sisters were in such spirits they could scarcely eat for two days.
+All their time was spent before the looking-glass, and more than a dozen
+laces were broken in attempts to tighten their waists into elegant
+shapes.</p>
+
+<p>At length the long-wished-for evening arrived, and these proud misses
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">11</a></span>stepped into their carriage, and drove away to the palace.</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella looked after the coach as far as she could see, and then
+returned to the kitchen in tears, where, for the first time, she
+bewailed her hard and cruel lot, little dreaming that a kind fairy was
+at the same moment watching over her.
+<img src="images/illus-011a.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-011b.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-011c.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+She continued sobbing in the chimney-corner until a rap at the door
+aroused her, and she got up to see what had caused it. She<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">12</a></span> found a
+little old woman, hobbling on crutches, who besought her to give her
+some food.</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;I have only part of my own supper for you, Goody, which is no better
+than a dry crust. But if you will step in and warm yourself by the fire,
+you can do so, and welcome.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;Thank you, my dear,&#8221; said the old woman, in a feeble, croaking voice;
+and when she had hobbled in, and taken her seat by the fire, she
+continued, &#8220;Hey! dearee me! what are all these tears about, my child?&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>And then Cinderella told her of all her griefs,&mdash;how her sisters had
+gone to the ball, and how she should like to have gone also.</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;But you shall go,&#8222; exclaimed her visitor, who was suddenly transformed
+into a beautiful fairy, &#8220;or I am not queen of the fairies, or your
+godmother. Dry up your tears, my dear goddaughter, and do as I bid you,
+and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">13</a></span> you shall have clothes and horses finer than any one.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>As Cinderella had often heard her father talk of her godmother, and tell
+her that she was one of those kind fairies who protect good children,
+her spirits revived, and she wiped away her tears.</p>
+
+<p>The fairy took Cinderella by the hand, and said, &#8220;Now, my dear, go into
+the garden, and fetch me a pumpkin.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella went immediately to gather the best she could find, and
+carried it to her godmother, though she could not guess how this pumpkin
+could make her go to the ball. Her godmother took the pumpkin and
+hollowed it out, leaving only the rind; she then struck it with her
+wand, and the pumpkin was immediately changed into a beautiful gilt
+coach. She next sent Cinderella for the mouse-trap, wherein were found
+six mice alive. She directed Cinderella to raise the door of the trap,
+and as each mouse came out she struck it with her wand, and it was<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">14</a></span>
+immediately changed into a beautiful horse; so that she had now six
+splendid grays for her gilt coach.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/illus-014.jpg" alt="" />
+</div>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">15</a></span>The
+fairy was perplexed how to find a coachman, but Cinderella said, &#8220;I
+will go and see if there is a rat in the rat-trap; if there is, he will
+make a capital coachman.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;You are right,&#8221; said the godmother; &#8220;go and see.&#8221; Cinderella brought
+the rat-trap, in which there were three large rats. The fairy selected
+one, on account of its beautiful whiskers, and, having touched it, it
+was changed into a fat coachman, with the finest pair of whiskers that
+ever were seen. She then said, &#8220;You must now go into the garden, where
+you will find six lizards, behind the watering-pot; bring them to me.&#8221;
+These were no sooner brought than the godmother changed them into six
+tall footmen, in handsome liveries, with cocked hats and gold-headed
+canes, who jumped up behind the coach just as if they had been
+accustomed to it all their lives.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">16</a></span></p>
+
+<p>The coachman and postilion having likewise taken their places, the fairy
+said to Cinderella, &#8220;Well, my dear girl, is not this as fine an equipage
+as you could desire, to go to the ball with? Tell me, now, are you
+pleased with it?&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;O yes, dear godmother,&#8221; replied Cinderella; and then, with a good deal
+of hesitation, she added, &#8220;but how can I make my appearance among so
+many finely-dressed people in these shabby clothes?&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;Give yourself no uneasiness about that, my dear. The most difficult
+part of our task is already accomplished, and it will be hard if I
+cannot make your dress correspond with your coach and servants.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>On saying this, the fairy touched Cinderella with her magic wand, and
+her clothes were instantly changed into a most magnificent ball-dress,
+ornamented with the most costly jewels.
+<img src="images/illus-017a.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-017b.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+The fairy now took from her pocket a beautiful pair of elastic glass
+slippers, which<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">17</a></span> she caused Cinderella to put on; and when she had thus
+completed her work, and Cinderella stood before her, arrayed in her
+beautiful clothes, the fairy was much pleased, and desired her to get
+into the carriage with all expedition, as the ball had already
+commenced. Two of the footmen then sprang and opened the carriage-door,
+and assisted Cinderella into it. Her godmother, however, before she took
+leave, strictly charged her on no account whatever to stay at the ball
+after the clock had struck the hour of midnight;<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">18</a></span> and then added that if
+she stopped but a single moment beyond that time her fine coach would
+again become a gourd, her horses mice, her footmen lizards, and her old
+clothes resume their former appearance.</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella promised faithfully to attend to everything that the fairy
+had mentioned; and then, quite overjoyed, gave the direction to the
+footman, who bawled out, in a loud voice, to the coachman, &#8220;To the royal
+palace!&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>The coachman touched his prancing horses lightly with his whip, and
+swiftly the carriage started off, and in a short time reached the
+palace.</p>
+
+<p>The arrival of so splendid an equipage as Cinderella's could not fail to
+attract general notice at the palace gates, and as it drove up to the
+marble portico the servants, in great numbers, came out to see it.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/illus-019.jpg" alt="" />
+</div>
+
+<p>The king's son, to whom it was announced that an unknown princess had
+arrived, hastened to receive her. He handed her out of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">19</a></span> the carriage,
+and led her to the ball-room. Immediately she entered the dancing
+ceased, and the violins stopped playing; so much was every one struck
+with the extreme beauty of the unknown princess; and the only sound
+heard was that of admiration. The king, old as he was, could not take
+his eyes off her, and said, in a low voice to the queen, that he had not
+seen such a beautiful person for many years. All the ladies began
+examining her dress, that they might have similar ones the next evening,
+if it was possible to obtain equally rich stuffs, and work-people<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">20</a></span>
+skilled enough to make them. The king's son conducted her to the most
+distinguished place, and invited her to dance. She danced with such
+grace that everybody was in raptures with her; and when supper was
+served the prince could partake of nothing, so much was he occupied in
+contemplating the beauty of the fair stranger.</p>
+
+<p>Seated close to her sisters, Cinderella showed them marked attention,
+and divided with them the oranges and citrons which the prince had given
+her; all of which surprised them greatly, as they did not recognize her.</p>
+
+<p>When Cinderella saw that it wanted but a quarter of an hour of midnight
+she left as quickly as possible, making a low courtesy to all the
+company.</p>
+
+<p>On reaching home she found her godmother there, thanked her for the
+delightful evening she had spent, and begged permission to go to the
+ball the following night, as the prince had desired her company. The
+fairy kindly granted her request, on condition<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">21</a></span> that she would return
+before twelve. She then caused her clothes to resume their usual
+plainness, that her sisters might not know of her adventure.</p>
+
+<p>Whilst Cinderella was occupied in relating all that had passed at the
+ball to her godmother, the two sisters knocked at the door, and as she
+went to open it for them the fairy disappeared.
+<img src="images/illus-021a.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+<img src="images/illus-021b.jpg" class="curve" alt=""/>
+&#8220;O, how late you are in coming home,&#8221; said Cinderella, rubbing her eyes,
+as if just awakened.</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;If you had been at the ball,&#8221; said one of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">22</a></span> the sisters, &#8220;you would not
+have been tired; for there was there the most beautiful princess that
+ever was seen, who paid us much attention, and gave us oranges and
+citrons.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella could scarcely contain herself for joy. She asked the name of
+the princess, but they said it was not known, and that the king's son
+was therefore much distressed, and would give anything he had to know
+who she could be.</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella smiled, and said, &#8220;Was she, then, so very beautiful? Could
+not I see her? O, Javotte, do lend me your yellow dress, that you wear
+every day, that I may go to the ball, and have a peep at this wonderful
+princess!&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>&#8220;Indeed,&#8221; said Javotte, &#8220;I am not so silly as to lend my dress to a
+wretched Cinderella like you.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella expected this refusal, and was very glad of it; for she would
+have been greatly embarrassed if her sister had lent her the dress.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">23</a></span></p>
+
+<p>The next evening the sisters again went to the ball, and Cinderella soon
+made her appearance, more magnificently dressed than before. The king's
+son was constantly at her side, saying the most agreeable things; so
+that Cinderella did not notice how the time passed, and had quite forgot
+her godmother's injunctions. While she therefore thought it was scarcely
+eleven o'clock, she was startled by the first stroke of midnight. She
+rose very hastily, and fled as lightly as a fawn, the prince following,
+though he could not overtake her. In her flight she let one of her glass
+slippers fall, which the prince picked up with the greatest care.</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella arrived at home out of breath, without carriage or servants,
+in her shabby clothes, and had nothing remaining of all her former
+magnificence except one of her little glass slippers,&mdash;the fellow of
+that she had lost.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter">
+  <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">24</a></span>
+<img src="images/illus-024.jpg" alt=""/>
+</div>
+
+<p>Upon
+inquiry being made of the guards, at the palace gates, as to
+whether the princess<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">25</a></span> had gone out, they replied that they had seen no
+one go out but a young girl, very poorly dressed, who looked more like a
+peasant than a fine lady.</p>
+
+<p>When the two sisters returned from the ball Cinderella asked if they had
+enjoyed themselves, and if the beautiful lady had again been there. They
+told her that she had been there, but that when the clock struck twelve
+she had started off so quickly that she let one of her pretty glass
+slippers fall off; that the prince, who quickly followed her, had picked
+it up, and had done nothing but look at it all the rest of the evening;
+and that he was evidently very much in love with the beautiful creature
+to whom it belonged, and would spare no pains to find her.</p>
+
+<p>This was indeed the case; for, a few days after, the prince caused it to
+be published, with the sound of trumpets, that he would marry the lady
+whose foot would exactly fit the slipper.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">26</a></span></p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" >
+<img src="images/illus-026.jpg" alt="" />
+</div>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">27</a></span>So
+the slipper was first tried on by all the princesses, then by all the
+duchesses, and next by all the ladies belonging to the court; but in
+vain. It was then taken to the two sisters, who tried every possible way
+of getting their foot into it, but without success.</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella, who was looking at them, and now recognized her slipper,
+said, laughingly, &#8220;Let me see if it will fit me.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>The sisters immediately began to laugh, and to ridicule her; but the
+gentleman who had been appointed to try on the slipper, having looked
+attentively at Cinderella, and finding her very pretty, said she was
+quite right in her request; for he was ordered to try it on to
+everybody.</p>
+
+<p>He desired her to sit down, and at once found that the slipper would go
+on her foot, without any trouble, and, indeed, fitted her like wax.</p>
+
+<p>The astonishment of the sisters was very great, but still greater when
+Cinderella drew<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">28</a></span> from her pocket the fellow-slipper, and, to the great
+delight of the gentleman, placed it upon her other foot.</p>
+
+<p>Her godmother now made her appearance, and, having touched Cinderella
+with her wand, she made her look even more magnificent than on either of
+the former occasions.</p>
+
+<p>The sisters now recognized in Cinderella the beautiful person they had
+seen at the ball, and threw themselves at her feet, to implore
+forgiveness for all the ill-treatment they had shown her. Cinderella
+raised them up, and, embracing them, said she forgave them, with all her
+heart, their unkindness to her, and hoped that for the future they would
+be more kind in their behavior to every one about them. She told them
+she had never forgotten the last words of her mother, on her
+death-bed:&mdash;&#8220;My child, always be good, and bear with patience everything
+that occurs to you; then, whatever toils and troubles you may suffer
+during<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">29</a></span> life, happiness will be your lot in the end.&#8221;</p>
+
+<p>These words now proved to be true; for, having borne unkindness and
+cruelty with patience ever since her father's second marriage, she was
+now going to be the wife of the king's son.</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella then explained the visit of her godmother, the queen of the
+fairies; and how her magic wand had furnished her with dresses,
+carriages, and attendants; and how, by forgetting the good fairy's
+orders, she was obliged to quit the ball-room so suddenly; and how, in
+her haste, she lost her little glass slipper, and, for her disobedience,
+was deprived of all her fine clothes.</p>
+
+<p>Cinderella being now betrothed to the prince, she was taken to the
+palace, dressed in all her splendor; and, being as amiable as she was
+beautiful, invited her sisters to live in the palace with her, where
+they were soon married to two great lords belonging to the court.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">30</a></span></p>

+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
