Cinderella was not fooled. Up in a watch tower, a soldier…
““Cinderella was not fooled. Up in a watch tower, a soldier cawed like a crow, and at the edge of her vision, she saw more than one soldier sprint to the officer’s lodgings—her destination—as if hellhounds were after him. A soldier “accidentally” let go of his patrol dog. The dog bounded up to Cinderella for a petting before the soldier leisurely collected the animal. Berta also “happened” upon Cinderella and invited her to the kitchens. “Don’t””
