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: 
It's quoting the epic poem The Song Of Roland about Charlemagne going into Spain to fight the Muslims
*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!"
