There he soon saw with his own eyes the goose-girl and the goose-boy bringing their flock, and how after a while she sat down and unplaited her hair, which shone with radiance. And soon she said, "Blow, blow, thou gentle wind, I say, Blow Conrad's little hat away, And make him chase it here and there, Until I have braided all my hair, And bound it up again."
Having a moderately comfortable income of his own, he naturally preferred living at the Grand Hotel. Where had he seen that young vintner before? Meanwhile, the goose-girl set resolutely about the task of remarshaling her awkward squad. With a soft, clucking sound she moved hither and thither. A feather or two drifted lazily about in the air.
'Now you are in Purgatory, said the Master Thief, and off he went and took the gold and the silver and all the precious things which the Priest had laid together in his best parlour. Next morning, when the goose-girl came to let out the geese, she heard the Priest bemoaning himself as he lay in the sack in the goose-house. 'Oh, heavens! who is that, and what ails you? said she.
"I will not consent to the second condition," he cried angrily. "Very well," replied the Costumer, picking some more cherries, "then your youngest daughter tends geese the rest of her life, that's all!" The Mayor was in great distress; but the thought of his youngest daughter being a goose-girl all her life was too much for him. He gave in at last.
Immediately a tall nut-tree grew up, whereon the bird rested, and then carried them home, where they found their child, who had grown tall and beautiful, and they lived thenceforth happily until their death. 89 The Goose-Girl THERE was once upon a time an old Queen whose husband had been dead for many years, and she had a beautiful daughter.
He pulled his hat over his eyes, scratched the irritating stubble on his chin, and stepped forward. He had followed yonder goose-girl ever since the incline began. Oft the little wooden shoes had lagged, but here they were, still a hundred yards or more ahead of him. He had never been close enough to distinguish her features.
"If you'll stop yellin' now I'll see that my prince husband lets you be a goose-girl on the hills behind our palace. Its awful nice being a goose-girl," she hastened to add lest the prospect fail to charm. "If I didn't have to marry that prince an' be a queen I guess I'd been a goose-girl myself.
Once on a time there was a King who had so many geese he was forced to have a lassie to tend them and watch them; her name was Annie, and so they called her 'Annie the Goose-girl'. Now you must know there was a King's son from England who went out to woo; and as he came along Ann sat herself down in his way. 'Sitting all alone there, you little Annie? said the King's son.
Instinctively she knew that he was not a peasant. But what could he be? Comparison would have made him a king. She was too tired and hungry to make further deductions. She was regarded with kindly eyes till the dark jaws of the Krumerweg swallowed up both her and her geese. "Poor little goose-girl!" he thought. "If she but knew, she could make a bonfire of a thousand hearts. A fine day!"
Thou art so filthy that if thou couldst make me a queen by the touch of a finger, I had rather be a goose-girl and eat grass. If by thy forged tales I could cast down Mahound, I had rather be his slave than thy accomplice! Could I lift my head if I had joined myself to thee? thou Judas to the Fiend.
