` Well , ' says he to the smith , ` you 're a married man . What 's to be done ? ' ` Faith , your majesty , I did n't make them crowns at all . It was a big fellow that took service with me yesterday . ' ` Well , daughter , will you marry the fellow that made these crowns ? ' ` Let me see them first , father , ' said she ; but when she examined them she knew them right well , and guessed it was her true love that sent them . ' I will marry the man that these crowns came from , ' says she . ` Well , ' says the king to the elder of the two princes , ` go up to the smith 's forge , take my best coaches , and bring home the bridegroom . ' He did not like doing this , he was so proud , but he could not refuse . When he came to the forge he saw the prince standing at the door , and beckoned him over to the coach . ` Are you the fellow , ' says he , ` that made these crowns ? ' ` Yes , ' says the other . ` Then , ' says he , ` maybe you 'd give yourself a brushing , and get into that coach ; the king wants to see you . I pity the princess . ' The young prince got into the carriage , and while they were on the way he opened the snuff-box , and out walked Seven Inches , and stood on his thigh . ` Well , ' says he , ` what trouble is on you now ? ' ` Master , ' says the other , ` please let me go back to my forge , and let this carriage be filled with paving stones . ' No sooner said than done . The prince was sitting in his forge , and the horses wondered what was after happening to the carriage . When they came into the palace yard , the king himself opened the carriage door , for respect to his new son-in-law .
As soon as he turned the handle , a shower of small stones fell XXXXX his powdered wig and his silk coat , and down he fell under them .
