The Moral
It scarce may be believed,This tale of Donkey-skin;
But laughing children in the home;Y
ea, mothers, and grandmothers too,
Are little moved by facts!
By them 'twill be received.
"Donkey-skin" illustration by Harry Clarke
"It was with difficulty that he withdrew from this gloomy little alley,
intent on discovering who the inmate of the tiny room might be. He was
told that it was a scullion called Donkey-skin because of the skin which
she always wore, and that she was so dirty and unpleasant that no one
took any notice of her, or even spoke to her; she had just been taken
out of pity to look after the geese."
