One of them had been taken away by a Troll to his castle , which was six miles off , and the other had been carried off to a castle which was nine miles farther off still . ` But now , ' said she , ` you must first help me to get this dead body away from here . ' Halvor was so strong that he cleared everything away , and made all clean and tidy very quickly . So then they ate and drank , and were happy , and next morning he set off in the grey light of dawn . He gave himself no rest , but walked or ran the livelong day . When he came in sight of the castle he was again just a little afraid . It was much more splendid than the other , but here too there was not a human being to be seen . So Halvor went into the kitchen , and did not linger there either , but went straight in . ` Nay ! do Christian folk dare to come here ? ' cried the second Princess . ' I know not how long it is since I myself came , but during all that time I have never seen a Christian man . It will be better for you to depart at once , for a Troll lives here who has six heads . ' ` No , I shall not go , ' said Halvor ; ` even if he had six more I would not . ' ` He will swallow you up alive , ' said the Princess . But she spoke to no purpose , for Halvor would not go ; he was not afraid of the Troll , but he wanted some meat and drink , for he was hungry after his journey . So she gave him as much as he would have , and then she once more tried to make him go away . ` No , ' said Halvor , ' I will not go , for I have not done anything wrong , and I have no reason to be afraid . ' ` He wo n't ask any questions about that , ' said the Princess , ` for he will take you without leave or right ; but as you will not go , try if you can wield that sword which the Troll uses in battle . ' He could not brandish the sword ; so the Princess said that he was to take a draught from the flask which hung by its side , and when he had done that he could wield the sword .
Soon afterwards the Troll came , and he was so large and stout that he was forced XXXXX go sideways to get through the door .
