[Conceals a half-teasing smile.] Yes, indeed! I did expect that of you.
That I should come back to your home, and take you away with me?
Just like a troll—yes.
And make a princess of you?
That's what you promised.
And give you a kingdom as well?
[Looks up at the ceiling.] Why not? Of course it need not have been an actual, every-day sort of a kingdom.
But something else just as good?
Yes, at least as good. [Looks at him a moment.] I thought, if you could build the highest church-towers in the world, you could surely manage to raise a kingdom of one sort or another as well.
[Shakes his head.] I can't quite make you out, Miss Wangel.
