` But I have no daughter , ' replied the ogre . ` Oh , yes you have , I saw her at the window . ' ` Well , you can marry her if you wish , ' said he . So the prince 's heart was glad as he and his attendants rode back with the ogre to his house . And as they parted , the prince said to his guest , ` You will not forget the bargain we have made ? ' ' I am not a young man , and never break my promises , ' said the ogre , and went in and shut the door . Upstairs he found the maiden , waiting till he returned to have her supper , for she did not like eating by herself . ' I have had my supper , ' said the ogre , ` for I have been spending the evening with the prince . ' ` Where did you meet him ? ' asked the girl . ` Oh , we are neighbours , and grew up together , and to-night I promised that you should be his wife . ' ' I do n't want to be any man 's wife , ' answered she ; but this was only pretence , for her heart too was glad . Next morning early came the prince , bringing with him bridal gifts , and splendid wedding garments , to carry the maiden back to his palace . But before he let her go the ogre called her to him , and said , ` Be careful , girl , never to speak to the prince ; and when he speaks to you , you must be dumb , unless he swears `` by the head of Buk Ettemsuch . '' Then you may speak . ' ` Very well , ' answered the girl . They set out ; and when they reached the palace , the prince led his bride to the room he had prepared for her , and said ` Speak to me , my wife , ' but she was silent ; and by-and-by he left her , thinking that perhaps she was shy . The next day the same thing happened , and the next . At last he said , ` Well , if you wo n't speak , I shall go and get another wife who will . ' And he did .
Now when the new wife was brought to the palace the daughter of Buk XXXXX rose , and spoke to the ladies who had come to attend on the second bride .
