'Mastermaid! said the Prince; 'yesterday master talked of this Mastermaid, and to-day he talks of her again, and the day before yesterday it was the same story. I only wish I could see what sort of thing she is! that I do. 'Well, well, wait till to-morrow', said the Giant, 'and then I'll take you in to her myself.
'Have you cleaned the stable? asked the Giant. 'Yes, now it's all right and tight, master', answered the Prince. 'I'll soon see if it is', growled the Giant, and strode off to the stable, where he found it just as the Prince had said. 'You've been talking to my Mastermaid, I can see', said the Giant; 'for you've not sucked this knowledge out of your own breast.
'Greet the King from me', said the Mastermaid, 'and tell him, if he's too good to come to me, so am I too good to go to him. So the King had to go himself, and then the Mastermaid went up with him without more ado; and as the King thought she was more than she seemed to be, he sat her down in the highest seat by the side of the youngest bridegroom.
At first she would not hear of the Mastermaid's lodging in her house, but at last, for fair words and high rent, the Mastermaid got leave to be there. Now the but was as dark and dirty as a pigsty, so the Mastermaid said she would smarten it up a little, that their house might look inside like other people's.
