The king had breakfast laid for him , and sat down at the table with him in person ; he kept constantly filling his glass for him and praising him , and drinking his health . Christian needed no pressing , but did full justice both to the food and drink , and not least to the latter . Finally he grew bold , and said that if the king would give him two hundred dollars for it , he was his man to stand sentry next night as well . When this was arranged , Christian bade him ` Good-day , ' and went down among the guards , and then out into the town along with other soldiers and under-officers . He had his pocket full of money , and treated them , and drank with them and boasted and made game of the good-for-nothings who were afraid to stand on guard , because they were frightened that the dead princess would eat them . See whether she had eaten him ! So the day passed in mirth and glee , but when eight o'clock came , Christian was again shut up in the church , all alone . Before he had been there two hours , he got tired of it , and thought only of getting away . He found a little door behind the altar which was not locked , and at ten o'clock he slipped out at it , and took to his heels and made for the beach . He had got half-way thither , when all at once the same little man stood in front of him and said , ` Good evening , Christian , where are you going ? ' ` I 've leave to go where I please , ' said the smith , but at the same time he noticed that he could not move a foot . ` No , you have undertaken to keep guard to-night as well , ' said the little man , ` and you must attend to that . ' He then took hold of him , and however unwilling he was , Christian had to go with him right back to the same little door that he had crept out at . When they got there , the little man said to him , ` Go in front of the altar now , and take in your hand the book that is lying there . There you shall stay till you hear the lid of the chest slam down over the dead . In that way you will come to no harm . ' With that the little man shoved him in at the door , and locked it . Christian then immediately went in front of the altar , and took the book in his hand , and stood thus until the clock struck twelve , and the appearance sprang out of the chest . ` Sentry , where are you ? Sentry , where are you ? '
it shrieked , and then rushed XXXXX the pulpit , and right up into it .
