Millie sped up the staircase with the full intention of returning to the ballroom. She didn't know why she was running, in fact, she was starting to wish that she hadn't. The idea that had once seemed the proper course of action suddenly appeared silly and ridiculous.

Just as she reached the top, however, a voice from behind stopped her dead in her tracks.

'Miss Taverner!'

Doctor Rawlings. She turned to face him- he was standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking earnestly up at her.

Chapter Three

1. And she did leave for the ball.

2. And when she did enter, she was astounded greatly. And, lo, the prince was dismissing many a young princess.

3. And as she did enter, Solomon was also astounded. And walked up to her, and dIanced with her.

4. But as he was about to marry her, lo, the clock struck twelve.

5. And she did run, and tripped down a step. And lost an glass slipper,

6. And she ran to her carriage, and did get in, but all was gone, in the twinkling of an eye.

Chapter Two

After enjoying my breakfast, I hurried to my room complete my homework. Before I knew it, I heard my mother calling me from the kitchen, “Anne, it’s time for lunch! Please come to the kitchen!”

“Alright mom, I’m coming!” I called, hurriedly trying to finish my last math problem.

Chapter Two

1. And Cinderella worked diligently. And inquired of Abigail if she might go to the ball, too.

2. And Abigail sought for an answer. And Myra delivered one unto her, and said, shall a scullery maid go to the ball? Yea, even Cinderella? Nay, but she shall have more work to do and then she cannot go.

3. And Abigail thought on these things, and, lo, she decided upon this thing.

I would like to just make a quick note; thank you to everyone who commented on the previous parts of this serial! You have all encouraged me... thank you so much!

TIME SETTING FOR OUR EARTH: 2011

TIME SETTING FOR NARNIA: DURING “THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE”

Chapter one (intro)

“Anne!” my mother called me from the kitchen, “Anne Elise, it’s time for breakfast!”

I stirred in my sleep only to awake after a few moments. It was then when I heard my mother calling me.

I groaned silently. Is it morning so soon?

The Book of Cinderella

Chapter One

1. Now, in the reign of David, King of Israel, there was born unto Peleth, son of Gireal, Gimael, and unto Gimael was born Ahazael,

2. And unto Ahazael was born Nun,

3. And unto Nun was born Kish.

4. Now unto Kish was born a daughter of a fair countenance whose name was Leah, and after his wife had died, he remarried.

5. Now, in the fourth month, Kish took to wife Abigail, the daughter of Seth;

6. And Abigail had borne a daughter whose countenance was ugly, and her name was Myra.

 (o.o.c.) this is less of an actual story and more like an explanation, but I didn't want to make it into an essay.

First, I wanted to thank James for promoting me to the most esteemed honor of becoming a Monthly. I am deeply honored, I hope to become worthy of that title. In the meantime, I present the next set of chapters for the Taverner Chronicles.

Millie pulled the curtains aside. There she was, in her own time, for her brother and sister were standing over the trunk full of clothing. Millie shivered as the warmth left her cheeks and hands, realizing that it was again cold. Very cold. Andrew looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Millie followed her Grandfather out of the study. It felt strange to see him so young and full of life, walking tall and without a cane. As they made their way up the stairs and through the long hallways, Millie was amazed to see just how many servants there were bustling about. The majority seemed to be gathering things and taking them in the direction of the ballroom, but there were a few with anxious looks on their faces. Millie pulled at Grandfather's sleeve.

'Is there something wrong? Why are some of them worried?'
