One day in the middle of winter Helen wanted some wood-violets. "Listen," cried she to Marouckla; "you must go up the mountain and find me some violets, I want some to put in my gown; they must be fresh and sweet-scented--do you hear?" "But, my dear sister, who ever heard of violets blooming in the snow?" said the poor orphan. "You wretched creature! Do you dare to disobey me?" said Helen.
