Premise: Laufer had hoped secretly that when the prince had seen the blue dress finished he would have let her off the other two ; but when she found she was expected to fulfil the whole task , her heart sank and she began to cry loudly .<br>Again Sigurd heard her , and begged Lineik to come to her help , and Lineik , feeling sorry for her distress , wove and embroidered the second dress as she had done the first , mixing gold thread and precious stones till you could hardly see the red of the stuff .
Hypothesis: Lineik wove the dress because he felt sorry for Laufer.
