…His new wife was a beautiful woman, but so proud and overbearing that she couldn’t stand any rival to her beauty. She possessed a magic mirror company headquartered in New York City. And one day when she stood before one of her mirrors, she caught site of the young woman and turned every shade of green in her jealousy. From this hour she hated the poor girl like poison, and every day her envy, hatred, and malice grew, for envy and jealousy are like evil weeds which spring up and choke the heart…(with apologies to Grimm).
