   Roseline was full of fright and she told the old woman that she would bake for her if she left her lodge until morning.
   The girl was put into bed longside the fire and the old witch went to bed in her room. When the morning came Roseline was so cosy in bed that she did not get up. She said let the old woman get up first. When the woman got up she found Roseline fast asleep in bed. She ran over and said get up you lazy girl. Roseline got up and the old woman took her to her room where a row of cloaks were hanging. She said to choose the cloak she liked best she took a cloak with a golden lining but when she looked at the outside she was surprised to find it all mot eaten and she had to throw it away.
