Her daughter was at hand , too , and between them they carried the Queen , who was still very weak , into the bath-room and laid her in the bath ; then they locked the door and ran away . They took care beforehand to make a blazing hot fire under the bath , so that the lovely young Queen might be suffocated . As soon as they were sure this was the case , the old witch tied a cap on her daughter 's head and laid her in the Queen 's bed . She managed , too , to make her figure and general appearance look like the Queen 's , but even her power could not restore the eye she had lost ; so she made her lie on the side of the missing eye , in order to prevent the King 's noticing anything . In the evening , when the King came home and heard the news of his son 's birth , he was full of delight , and insisted on going at once to his dear wife 's bedside to see how she was getting on . But the old witch cried out , ` Take care and keep the curtains drawn ; do n't let the light get into the Queen 's eyes ; she must be kept perfectly quiet . ' So the King went away and never knew that it was a false Queen who lay in the bed . When midnight came and everyone in the palace was sound asleep , the nurse who alone watched by the baby 's cradle in the nursery saw the door open gently , and who should come in but the real Queen . She lifted the child from its cradle , laid it on her arm , and nursed it for some time . Then she carefully shook up the pillows of the little bed , laid the baby down and tucked the coverlet in all round him . She did not forget the little Roe either , but went to the corner where it lay , and gently stroked its back . Then she silently left the room , and next morning when the nurse asked the sentries if they had seen any one go into the castle that night , they all said , ` No , we saw no one at all . ' For many nights the Queen came in the same way , but she never spoke a word , and the nurse was too frightened to say anything about her visits . After some little time had elapsed the Queen spoke one night , and said : ` Is my child well ? Is my Roe well ? I 'll come back twice and then farewell . ' The nurse made no answer , but as soon as the Queen had disappeared she went to the King and told him all . The King exclaimed , ` Good heavens ! what do you say ? I will watch myself to-night by the child 's bed . '
When the evening came he went XXXXX the nursery , and at midnight the Queen appeared and said : ` Is my child well ?
