" How'd you get a name like Cinderella?"
"My birth name is Ella, after my mother, Gabrielle. But no one's called me that for years."
"I like Cinderella," Louisa declared. "I don't understand the 'Cinder' in front of Ella, but it's different, I'll say."
"I used to curl up by the fire in the kitchen waiting for my papa to come home from his travels," Cinderella explained. "Sometimes I'd fall asleep and have soot all over my clothes. One time he cleaned it off, and ever since he called me Cinderella."
"Cinderella" had been her father's term of endearment for her. Only after he died did her stepmother and stepsisters use her name as a way of mocking her. "
