hugged his beloved Beauty. Word was sent to her sisters, and soon they arrived

with their new husbands. As it turned out, using the dowries that their father had

provided, the sisters had managed to find mates who were equal to them in every

unpleasant way—equally proud in character and cruel in nature. At first, the sisters

pretended to be thrilled to have Beauty back again, but when they saw how elegantly

she was dressed and learned how happy she was in her palatial home, they were

overcome with envy and soon went back to their old spiteful ways, treating Beauty

more like their servant than their sister.

Within days, Beauty had grown weary of their mistreatment and longed to

return to the kindness of the Beast. When she told her family that she must leave

at the end of the week or her friend would die, the cruel sisters immediately realized

how they could destroy her happiness. Suddenly, they were oozing with sweetness.

“Oh, little sister,” they begged through false tears, “please stay just a few more

days—we love you so!”

Beauty was touched. Her whole life, she had so yearned to be cared for by these

evil creatures that she fell into their trap. Seven, and then eight, and then nine

days passed.
