The Mayor's Daughter Declared She Was Going to Attend to Her Geeves

The mayor's daughter declared she was going to tend her geeves out in the pasture. The princesses jumped up from their straw pallets and wanted to go to court. All the rest of them likewise poor little red riding had sobbed because she couldn't carry her basket to her grandmother. They did not know what to do but it was evident that they must do something before long. A board of aldermen set out walking with each member having a child who worked as a chimney sweep or a little watch girl or a shepherdess.
