` We shall require a better house , ' said Maie the following summer ; ` the old one is too small for ourselves and the men . ' ` Yes , ' said Matte . So he built a large cottage , with a real lock to the door , and a store-house for fish as well ; and he and his men caught such quantities of fish that they sent tons of salmon , herring , and cod to Russian and Sweden . ' I am quite overworked with so many folk , ' said Maie ; ' a girl to help me would not come amiss . ' ` Get one , then , ' said her husband ; and so they hired a girl . Then Maie said : ` We have too little milk for all these folk . Now that I have a servant , with the same amount of trouble she could look after three cows . ' ` All right , then , ' said her husband , somewhat provoked , ` you can sing a song to the fairies .

The following morning , instead of one , three cows stood on the island , and they all ate seaweed and fended for themselves like the first one . ` Art thou satisfied now ? ' said Matte to his wife . ' I should be quite satisfied , ' said his wife , ` if only I had two servants to help , and if I had some finer clothes . Do n't you know that I am addressed as Madam ? ' ` Well , well , ' said her husband . So Maie got several servants and clothes fit for a great lady . ` Everything would now be perfect if only we had a little better dwelling for summer .

Then you might make a little arbour up there to let us have a sea-view ; and we might have a fiddler to fiddle to us of an evening , and a little steamer to take us to church in stormy weather . ' ` Anything more ? '
asked Matte ; but he did everything XXXXX his wife wished .
So after as for if of on that up with
