Meanwhile the Queen was hurrying through the forest, muttering to herself, "I've killed her this time! I've killed her this time!"

On reaching home, she removed her disguise and stood before the mirror, asking,

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Among the ladies in this land,
Who is the fairest of them all?"

Just as before, 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."

At these words, the Queen stamped her feet and beat on the looking-glass in her rage. "Snow White shall die," she vowed, "even if it costs me my life!."
