But the gossip, happening to see them come out, set up a loud "Halloo," and began to shout and make such a noise that the ogress awoke, and, seeing that Parsley had run away, she descended by the same ladder, which was still fastened to the window, and set off after the couple, who, when they saw her coming at their heels faster than a horse let loose, gave themselves up for lost.
"All that cleaning for the cross old woman yesterday, and this for my trouble, nothing for breakfast! Not even a crust of bread! Does Mistress Ogress fancy a princess will bear that?" The poor foolish creature seemed to think that the work of one day ought to serve for the next day too! But that is nowhere the way in the whole universe. How could there be a universe in that case?

"Ah, hold fast to me! Hold fast! I have waited for you so long, I need you so much!" he breathed. "I don't seem able to help myself!" she sighed.
The idea of her being an ogress vanished utterly, and she thought of her only as one to take her in from the moon, and the loneliness, and the terrors of the forest-haunted heath, and hide her in a cottage with not even a door for the horrid wolves to howl against.
