<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And, meanwhile, his granddaughter grew up with no one to care for her, or clothe her; only the old nurse, when no one was by, would sometimes give her a dish of scraps from the kitchen, or a torn petticoat from the rag-bag; while the other servants of the Palace would drive her from the house with blows and mocking words, calling her "Tattercoats," and pointing at her bare feet and shoulders, till she ran away crying, to hide among the bushes.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** granddaughter, one · **What happens:** grow up, care, clothe, give, tear, drive · **To what, where:** granddaughter, dish, other servants, house, Tattercoats, bare feet · **Speech:** someone speaks here
