The old woman went out and cried : ` West Wind ! West Wind ! Canst thou tell me the way to Soria Moria Castle ? Here is one who would go thither . ' ` Yes , I know it well , ' said the West Wind . ' I am just on my way there to dry the clothes for the wedding which is to take place . If he is fleet of foot he can go with me . ' Out ran Halvor . ` You will have to make haste if you mean to go with me , ' said the West Wind ; and away it went over hill and dale , and moor and morass , and Halvor had enough to do to keep up with it . ` Well , now I have no time to stay with you any longer , ' said the West Wind , ` for I must first go and tear down a bit of spruce fir before I go to the bleaching-ground to dry the clothes ; but just go along the side of the hill , and you will come to some girls who are standing there washing clothes , and then you will not have to walk far before you are at Soria Moria Castle . ' Shortly afterwards Halvor came to the girls who were standing washing , and they asked him if he had seen anything of the West Wind , who was to come there to dry the clothes for the wedding . ` Yes , ' said Halvor , ` he has only gone to break down a bit of spruce fir . It wo n't be long before he is here . ' And then he asked them the way to Soria Moria Castle . They put him in the right way , and when he came in front of the castle it was so full of horses and people that it swarmed with them . But Halvor was so ragged and torn with following the West Wind through bushes and bogs that he kept on one side , and would not go among the crowd until the last day , when the feast was to be held at noon . So when , as was the usage and custom , all were to drink to the bride and the young girls who were present , the cup-bearer filled the cup for each in turn , both bride and bridegroom , and knights and servants , and at last , after a very long time , he came to Halvor . He drank their health , and then slipped the ring which the Princess had put on his finger when they were sitting by the waterside into the glass , and ordered the cup-bearer to carry the glass to the bride from him and greet her . Then the Princess at once rose up from the table , and said , ` Who is most worthy to have one of us -- he who has delivered us from the Trolls or he who is sitting here as bridegroom ? ' There could be but one opinion as to that , everyone thought , and when Halvor heard what they said he was not long in flinging off his beggar 's rags and arraying himself as a bridegroom .
` Yes , he is the right one , ' cried the youngest Princess when she caught sight XXXXX him ; so she flung the other out of the window and held her wedding with Halvor .
