GOODY. And now she has driven you away!

ELIZA (nodding). If only I could find my dear brothers!

GOODY. You may hear something about them very soon.

ELIZA (quickly). Do you know where they are? Tell me! I pray you tell me!

GOODY (shaking her head mysteriously). I cannot say where they are. I only know what they are.

ELIZA. I do not understand—

GOODY. The wicked queen has turned your brothers into wild swans.

ELIZA. Wild swans?

GOODY (nodding). I saw them yesterday, at sunrise, flying out over the sea. Each swan wore a gold crown on his head.

ELIZA. The queen could not take their crowns from them!
