"ah," said the north wind, "you go faster than i you do; for you can go straight, while i have to puff and blow round every turn and corner. but when you get there, just place yourself on the stairs by the side of the door, and then i'll come storming in, as though i were going to blow down the whole castle. and then when the prince, who is to have your queen, comes out to see what's the matter, just you take him by the collar and pitch him out of doors; then i'll look after him, and see if i can't carry him off."
