Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first and worst if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes
Sophihahata was the eldest of three sisters
She was not even the child of a poor wood cutter
Which might have given her some chance of success
Her parents were well to do and kept a ladi's hatshop in the prosperous town of market
Chipping true
Her own mother died when soopy was two years old
And her sister letty e was one year old
And their father married his youngest shop assista pretty blblongirl l led fanny
Fanny shortly gave birth to the third sister mathua
This autra made sophiian letty into ugly sisters
But in fact all three girls grew up very pretty indeed though letty
Once the one everyone said was most beautiful fanny treated all three girls with the same kindness
And did not fave a mather in the least mister hatter was proud of his three daughters
And sent them all to the best school in town
So if he was the most studious
She read a great deal and very soon realized her little chance
She had of an interesting future
It was a disappointment to her
But she was still happy enough looking off to her sisters and grooming ing thther to seek her fortune
When the time came
Since fanny was always busy in the shop
Sophie was the one who looked after the younger too
It was a certain amount of screaming and hair pulling between those younger too
Letty was by no means resign to being the one who next to sophie was bound to be the ally successful
It's not fair
Letwch ch out
Why should mathi have the best of it just because she was born the youngest
I should all marria prints
So there to which maths are always reported that she would end up disgustingly rich without having to marry anybody
Then so he would have to drag them apart and men their cloclothes
She was dedept with her needle as time went on she made clothes for her sisters
Too there was one deep rose outfit
She made for letty the mayday before this story really starts which fanny said
Looked as if it had come from the most expensive shopping kings bray about this time
Everyone began talking of the which of the waste again
It was said the which had threatened the life of the king's daughter
And that the king had commanded his personal magician visit cilomon to go into the waste and deal with the witch
And it seemed that wizarard zilleamon had not only failed to deal with the which
He got himself killed by her
So when a few months after that a tall black castle suddenly appeared on the hills above market chipping blowing clouds of black smoke from its four tall l thin arrats
Everybody was fairly sure that the witichad moved out of the waste again
And was about to terrorize the country
The way she used to fifty years ago people got very scared indeed nobody went out alone particularly at night
What made it all the scary was that the castle did not stay the same
Same
Sometimes times was a tool ack ack smuch on the mores to the northwest
Sometimes it reared above the rocks to the east
And sometimes it came right down hill to sit in the heather
Only just beyond the last farm to the north
You could see it actually moving sometimes with smoke pouring out from the tarrets in dirty gray gusts for a while
Everyone was certain that the castle would come right down into the valley
Before long and the mayor talked of sending to the king for help that the castle stayed rowing about the hills
And it was learned that he did not belong to the which
But to visit
Hol visit how was was bad enough
Though he did not seem to want to leave the hills
He was known to amuse himself by collecting young girls and sucking the souls from them
Or some people said he acat their heart
He wasn't utterly cold blooded
And hetless visit and no young goirwas safe from him
If he caught on her own sophii leti and matha along with all the other goals in market
Chipping were warned never to go out alone
Which was a great annoyance to them
They wondered what to use was on how found for all the souls
He collected they had other things on their minds
Before long however for mister hatter died suddenly just as sofhe was owed enough to leave school for good
It then appeared that mister hatter had been altogether too proud of his daughters
The school fees
He had been paying
Had left the shop with quiet heavy debts
When the funeral was over
Fanny sat down in the parar in the house next door to the shop
And explained the situation
You'll all have to leave that schooli'm afraid
She said i've been doing some spacken front and sideways
And the only way i can see to keep the business going and take care of the three of you is to see you all settled in a promising apprentitership
Somewhere it isn't practical to have you all in the shop
I can't afford it
So this is what i've decided letty
First letty looked up
Glowing with health and beauty
Which even soarrow and black clothes could not hide
I want to go on learning
She said
So you shall love
Said fanny i've arranged for you to be a prentice to sisaaris the pastry cook in market square
They've a named for treating their learners like kings and queens
And you should be very happy
There as well as learning a useful trade
Mrs sasaar is a good customer and a good friend
And she's agreed to squeeze you in as a favor letty laughed in the way that shows she was not at all pleased well thank you
She said isn't it lucky
That i like cooking
Funny looked relieved that he could be awkwardly strong minded at times now mother
She said
I know you're full young to go out to work
So i thought round for something that would give you a long quiet apprenticeship and go on being useful to you
Whatever you decide to do
After that you know my old schoolfriend and about fairfax mathur who was slender and fair fixed her big grey eyes on funny almost as strong minded
There's letty you mean the one who talks such a lot
She said isn't cheer
Which yes with a lovely house and clients all over the folding fanny
Fanny said
Eagery she's a good woman matheter sh'll teach you all she knows
And very likely introduce you to grand people
She knows in kings
Ray you'll be all set up in life
When she's down with you
She's a nice lady martha concedered all right sophe listening felt that fanny had worked everything out
Just as it should be letty
As the second daughter was never likely to come
Come much
So so fanny had put away
She mmight me to hunt some younger apprentice and live happily ever after mathur who was bound to strike out to make her fortune
Would have witchcraft and rich friends to help her as for sophia herself
Sopa had no doubt what was coming
It did not surprise her
When fanny said now sophia dea
It seems only right and just that you shoulinherit the hatshop
When i retire being the eldest as you are
So i've decided to take you on as a printers
Myself to give you a chance to learn the trade
How do you feel about that
So if he could hardly say that she simply felt resigned to the heart trade
She thanked fanny gratefully
So that's settled then funny said
