If I hadn't been drunk and mad, I shouldn't have gone and swopped away my spae-maiden for it. But now this chest shall go out into the river this very minute. And with that he began to untie the rope. 'Au! Au! do for God's sake set me free. The priest's life is at stake; he it is whom you have got in the chest', screamed out some one inside.
'What did you give for that spae-maiden? said the man, 'for I must have her, whatever you ask for her. 'She was left me by my father', said Peter, 'and so she didn't cost me much. To tell you the truth, I've no great mind to part with her, but, all the same, you may have her, if you'll let me have, instead of her, that old chest that stands in the parlour yonder.
So, when they had sat a while, Little Peter began to mutter to his skin: 'What are you saying now? can't you hold your tongue', said Little Peter. 'Who is it you're talking with? asked the man. 'Oh! answered Little Peter, 'it's only a spae-maiden whom I've got in my calfskin. 'And pray what does she spae? asked the man again.
So they began to make merry with it, but just as they sat and took their ease, Peter muttered something again to the calfskin. 'Hush! he said, 'can't you hold your jaw? 'And pray what does the spae-maiden say now? asked the man. 'Oh! she says no one can say there isn't brandy and ale standing just under the trap-door which goes down into the cellar', answered Peter.
