The dwarfs warned Snow White again, "Take great care and be sure to let no one enter the house."

The Queen hurried back through the forest. She was filled with joy because, believing Snow White to be dead, she herself must now be fairest of all.

As soon as she reached home, she removed her disguise and stood before her mirror asking,
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Among the ladies in this land,
Who is the fairest of them all?"

You can imagine the rage into which she flew when the mirror replied,

Thou, O Queen, art exceedingly fair,
But the truth I must speak
and this I do swear,
Snow White is not dead but living still,
In a little house far over the hill;
And though thou, O Queen,
art certainly fair,
This child's great beauty doth
make her more fair."
