The Fairies and the Mayor's Daughter

Not a single costume would come off the buttons were buttoned again as fast as they were unbuttoned even if they pulled out a pin then it would slip again in a twinkling but when a string was untied I tied it's off up again into a bow knot. The parents were dreadfully frightened but the children were so tired out they finally let them go to bed in their fancy costumes and thought perhaps they would come off better in the morning. Every one of the children seemed to have become in reality the character which he or she had assumed the mayor's daughter should be.
