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 to the nursery , and at midnight the Queen appeared and said : ` Is my child well ? Is my Roe well ? I 'll come back once and then farewell . ' And she nursed and petted the child as usual before she disappeared . The King dared not trust himself to speak to her , but the following night he kept watch again . That night when the Queen came she said : ` Is my child well ? Is my Roe well ? I 've come this once , and now farewell . '
Then the King could restrain himself no longer , but sprang to her side and cried , ` You can be no XXXXX but my dear wife ! '
