Suddenly the door burst open , and in came her Destiny . ` Oh ! so here you are , Catherine ! Did you really think I was going to leave you in peace ? ' And as she spoke she walked to the linen press where Catherine 's mistress kept all her finest sheets and underclothes , tore everything in pieces , and flung them on the floor . Poor Catherine wrung her hands and wept , for she thought to herself , ` When my lady comes back and sees all this ruin she will think it is my fault , ' and starting up , she fled through the open door . Then Destiny took all the pieces and made them whole again , and put them back in the press , and when everything was tidy she too left the house . When the mistress reached home she called Catherine , but no Catherine was there . ` Can she have robbed me ? ' thought the old lady , and looked hastily round the house ; but nothing was missing . She wondered why Catherine should have disappeared like this , but she heard no more of her , and in a few days she filled her place . Meanwhile Catherine wandered on and on , without knowing very well where she was going , till at last she came to another town . Just as before , a noble lady happened to see her passing her window , and called out to her , ` Where are you going all alone , my pretty girl ? ' And Catherine answered , ` Ah , my lady , I am very poor , and must go to service to earn my bread . ' ' I will take you into my service , ' said the lady ; and Catherine served her well , and hoped she might now be left in peace . But , exactly as before , one day that Catherine was left in the house alone her Destiny came again and spoke to her with hard words : ` What ! are you here now ? ' And in a passion she tore up everything she saw , till in sheer misery poor Catherine rushed out of the house . And so it befell for seven years , and directly Catherine found a fresh place her Destiny came and forced her to leave it . After seven years , however , Destiny seemed to get tired of persecuting her , and a time of peace set in for Catherine .
When she had been chased away from her last house by Destiny 's wicked pranks she had taken service XXXXX another lady , who told her that it would be part of her daily work to walk to a mountain that overshadowed the town , and , climbing up to the top , she was to lay on the ground some loaves of freshly baked bread , and cry with a loud voice , ' O Destiny , my mistress , ' three times .
