Question: The phrase "Twice yet, carle, I'll come to Spain!" occurs in the obscure fairy tale [Molly Whuppie](http://sarahbethdurst.blogspot.com/2006/11/obscure-fairy-tale-molly-whuppie.html?m=1) ([more original version?](http://www.kayfabe.com/?p=1724)) after a princess tricks a giant by stealing his sword. Contextually:

> 
> "Woe worth you, Molly Whuppie! never you come again."
> 
> 
> "Twice yet, carle," quoth she, "I'll come to Spain."
> 
> 
> 

This is the second time the giant has been tricked, which I believe may link to "twice." It's an idiom, though, so I can't be certain. What is Molly trying to communicate, and where does this idiom come from?

Edit: I think "twice yet" is a reference to the fact that she'll show up twice more - though I have no idea how she would know this.

Answer: 
Standard fairy tale promise. "I'll be baaack"

Many fairy tales have things come in three.

She knows that the king will ask something impossible for each of his sons and there are three of them.
*Carle* is a form of *churl*, a mildly insulting form of address, perhaps similar to 'My lad'. And *yet* meaning 'in the future' isn't all that uncommon: "The car's broken down and the railway's on strike, but don't worry, boss, I'll get to work yet!"
