Rh had not found the stolen castle; and to make it worse, he was disappointed in not seeing his young and beautiful wife come out and meet him, hindered as she was by her parents. But that did not stop long. Jack put full power on and set off with the little men to bring on the castle, and they soon got there. Jack shook hands with the King, and returned many thanks for his kingly kindness in minding the castle for him; and then Jack instructed the little men to spur up and put speed on. And off they went, and were not long before they reached their journey's end, when out comes the young wife to meet him with a fine jolly, bonny young, and they all lived happy ever afterwards.
