`and I won't go away, for I have done no harm, but you must give
me something to eat, for I am frightfully hungry.'

When Halvor had eaten his fill, the Princess told him to try if
he could wield the sword which was hanging on the wall, but he
could not wield it, nor could he even lift it up.

`Well, then, you must take a drink out of that bottle which is
hanging by its side, for that's what the Troll does whenever he goes
out and wants to use the sword,' said the Princess.

Halvor took a draught, and in a moment he was able to swing
the sword about with perfect ease. And now he thought it was
high time for the Troll to make his appearance, and at that very
moment he came, panting for breath.

Halvor got behind the door.

`Hutetu!' said the Troll as he put his head in at the door. `It
smells just as if there were Christian man's blood here!'

`Yes, you shall learn that there is!' said Halvor, and cut off all
his heads.

The Princess was so rejoiced to be free that she danced and sang,
but then she remembered her sisters, and said: `If my sisters were
but free too!'

`Where are they?' asked Halvor.
