East of the Sun and West of the Moon (19)

In the morning, as soon as day dawned, in came the Princess with the long nose, and drove her out again.

In the daytime she sat down once more beneath the windows of the castle, and began to card with her golden carding-comb ; and then all happened as it had happened before.

The Princess asked her what she wanted for it, and she replied that it was not for sale, either for gold or money, but that if she could get leave to go to the Prince, and be with him during the night, she should have it.

But when she went up to the Prince's room he was again asleep, and let her call him, or shake him, or weep as she would, he still slept on, and she could not put any life in him.

When daylight came in the morning, the Princess with the long nose came too, and one more drove her away.  

When day had quite come, the girl seated herself under the castle windows, to spin with her golden spinning-wheel, and the Princess with the long nose wanted to have that also.
