Everyone was worried about the collier because he had not been home for awhile. And they all said, "Oh, dear!" But when, when the collier came, Rosa said, "I shall go to the castle and do what you tell me. That is how I might give my father to life, if he died." And then, she dressed like Agnes, like the collier's daughter, and the collier said, "Rosa, go with Agnes to the castle and tell her to stop. And then you go alone." And she did as she was told.

Another chapter:

She brought mushrooms to the castle. And then the councilor called her in. But then his wife said (in a nasty voice), "Oh Rosa, why are you here? You weren't invited!" But then the councilor said, "O my wife, what are you fussing about? She was invited by me." Then his wife calmed down a little bit, and said (in a good voice for this time), "Rosa, you may stay. Oh, but you must be so hungry. Come sit down and you may have dinner with us." And she did.

Then she returned to Agnes, and Agnes said, "Oh, how hungry I am. And why don't you sit down and have your dinner?"

"Oh, oh," said Rosa, "Why didn't you eat dinner when I was at the castle? Oh, I thought you ate dinner! Why didn't you?" Agnes sat down and said, "I'll will eat some on the road." "And so can I," said Rosa. And that is all I've read for today, and I will tell you more when I have heard and listened more.
