'some little dogs never get theirs'

"we want everything. all the happiness that earth and heaven are capable of bestowing. creature comforts, and heart and soul comforts also; and, proud-spirited beings that we are, we will not be put off with a part. give us only everything, and we will be content. and, after all, cinderella, you have had your day. some little dogs never get theirs. you must not be greedy. you have KNOWN happiness. the palace was paradise for those few months, and the prince's arms were about you, cinderella, the prince's kisses on your lips; the gods themselves cannot take THAT from you."
