So that evening , when the Princess came once more with her sleeping-drink , he pretended to drink , but threw it away behind him , for he suspected that it was a sleeping-drink . So , when the girl went into the Prince 's room this time he was awake , and she had to tell him how she had come there . `` You have come just in time , '' said the Prince , `` for I should have been married to-morrow ; but I will not have the long-nosed Princess , and you alone can save me . I will say that I want to see what my bride can do , and bid her wash the shirt which has the three drops of tallow on it . This she will consent to do , for she does not know that it is you who let them fall on it ; but no one can wash them out but one born of Christian folk : it can not be done by one of a pack of trolls ; and then I will say that no one shall ever be my bride but the woman who can do this , and I know that you can . '' There was great joy and gladness between them all that night , but the next day , when the wedding was to take place , the Prince said , `` I must see what my bride can do . '' `` That you may do , '' said the stepmother . `` I have a fine shirt which I want to wear as my wedding shirt , but three drops of tallow have got upon it which I want to have washed off , and I have vowed to marry no one but the woman who is able to do it . If she can not do that , she is not worth having . '' Well , that was a very small matter , they thought , and agreed to do it . The Princess with the long nose began to wash as well as she could , but , the more she washed and rubbed , the larger the spots grew . `` Ah ! you ca n't wash at all , '' said the old troll-hag , who was her mother . `` Give it to me . '' But she too had not had the shirt very long in her hands before it looked worse still , and , the more she washed it and rubbed it , the larger and blacker grew the spots . So the other trolls had to come and wash , but , the more they did , the blacker and uglier grew the shirt , until at length it was as black as if it had been up the chimney . `` Oh , '' cried the Prince , `` not one of you is good for anything at all ! There is a beggar-girl sitting outside the window , and I 'll be bound that she can wash better than any of you ! Come in , you girl there ! '' he cried .
So she came XXXXX .
