they are pigs' tails! Stop laughing! If the joke's on anybody, it's on you. Instead of a human heart, your precious huntsman has brought back the heart of a pig; and Miss Snow White is alive at this moment. Ha, ha, for you!
The Queen. [Her laughter broken off short.] What? Snow White alive?
The Witch. If these are pigs' tails, that was a pig's heart. Ask your Magic Mirror if Snow White's not alive.
The Queen. [Seizing the Mirror which hangs from her girdle.]
- Mirror, mirror, in my hand,
- Who's the fairest in the land?
The Mirror. [Answering.]
- You, who hold me in your hand,
- You were fairest in the land;
- But to-day, I answer true,
- Snow White is more fair than you.
The Queen. Snow White alive! [She starts to dash the Mirror to the ground.]
