In a short timotime [sic] Hop-o'-my-Thumb came to his father's, and all thothe [sic] family were glad to seosee [sic] him again. the great fame of his boots had been talked of at at this time, the king sent for him, and indeed  him very often on the greatest affairs of thothe [sic] ; so that hohe [sic] became one of thothe [sic] richest men in the {[reconstruct|kingdom}}.

As for the Ogre, he fell in his sleep from the corner the rock where Hop-o'-my-Thumb and his brothers  left him, to the ground, and bruised himself so much  head to foot that hohe [sic] could not stir; so hohe [sic] was  to stretch himself out at full length, and wait for somosome [sic] person to come by and help him.

Now a good many fagot-makers passed near the placoplace [sic] wherowhere [sic] the OgroOgre [sic]lay, and when they hoardheard [sic] him groan, thoythey [sic] went up to ask him what was thothe [sic] matter. But thothe [sic] OgroOgre [sic] had eaten such a great number of children in his, and had grown so very bulky and fat, that these could not oveneven [sic] have carried one of his legs; they  thereforotherefore [sic] forced to leavoleave [sic] him. At last the night camocame [sic] on, and then a largolarge [sic] serpent camocame [sic] out of a wood by, and stung him, so that hohe [sic] dioddied [sic] in great pain.

BeforoBefore [sic] this time Hop-o'-my-Thumb had become thothe [sic] favourite; and as soon as hohe [sic] heard thothe [sic] news of the Ogre's death, hohe [sic] told his majesty all that the good-natured Ogress had done to savosave [sic] thothe [sic] lives of himself and his brothers. The king was so much pleased at he heard, that he askodasked [sic] Hop-o'-my-Thumb if therothere [sic] was any favour he could bestow upon her? Hop-o'-my-thumb then thanked thetho [sic] king, and desired that thothe [sic] might havohave [sic] the noblonoble [sic] titlotitle [sic] of Duchess of Draggletail given to her; which was no sooner asked thauthan [sic].

The Ogress then came to court, and lived very happy many years, enjoying thothe [sic] vast fortune she found in  Ogre's chests.

As for Hop-o'-my-Thumb, he every day grew more and brave, till at last the king made him the  lord in the kingdom, and set him over all his.
