This old woman had a very bad temper. The neighbours told horrible stories about her, so that the children were afraid to pass the house. They used always to turn just before they reached it, and cross to the other side of the street. This they did so regularly that their feet had worn a path in the grass. But for some reason the little girl found a great fascination in the little house. She liked to loiter about the door, always holding herself ready to turn and run in case the old woman rushed out upon her with a broomstick (manche de balai). There was a sort of perilous pleasure in doing this. It was like sitting at the entrance of a lion’s cage, uncertain at what moment his Majesty might take it into his head to give a spring and eat you up.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29010378_0215.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
