Meanwhile Edgar and the Master-Maid had ridden on fast and furious till they came near where the palace of the King, Edgar's father, could be seen in the far distance. And Edgar said: "Let me go on first and tell my father and mother all that you have done for me, and they will welcome you as their daughter."
When the Master-Maid came into Edgar's room she bent over his bed and cried: "I cleaned the byre for thee, I swung the axe for thee, And now thou'lt not speak to me." But still Edgar slept on, and in the morning the Master-Maid had to leave without speaking to him.
When the giant came home, he asked the Prince: "Where is the birds' nest?" And the Prince brought it to him with the eggs all safe within it. And then the giant said: "Ah, you have spoken to my Master-Maid." "Whom do you mean by your Master-Maid?" said the Prince. "There are your eggs, what more do you want?"
When the giant came home, the first thing he did was to go to the clump of trees and found, to his surprise, that they had all been felled. "Ah, you've spoken to my Master-Maid," he said once more. "Who is she?" said the Prince. "You know well enough," said the giant. "But for her you could not have cut down those trees with that glass axe." "I do not know what you mean," said the Prince.
And this time she was dressed in a dress of shining gold; and for that the Princess agreed to let her spend one more night in the Prince's room. But this time the Prince, guessing what had happened, threw away the wine-cup, in which the Princess had placed the sleeping draught, and lay awake on his bed when the Master-Maid came in.
