proceed now, unless it be unto thy death." "He will not suffer
himself to be invited by me," said Gwalchmai. "But by me he will,"
said Arthur; "and, moreover, he does not go from here until he is
healed." "I had rather, Lord," said Geraint, "that thou wouldest let
me go forth." "That will I not, I declare to Heaven," said he. Then
he caused a maiden to be sent for to conduct Enid to the tent where
Gwenhwyvar's chamber was. And Gwenhwyvar and all her women were
joyful at her coming; and they took off her riding-dress, and placed
other garments upon her. Arthur also called Kadyrieith, and ordered
him to pitch a tent for Geraint and the physicians; and he enjoined
him to provide him with abundance of all that might be requisite for

the next day Arthur permitted him to go forth, and he pursued his
journey. And on the same day Arthur removed thence. And Geraint
desired Enid to go on, and to keep before him, as she had formerly

"Stay thou here," said he, "and I will go and see what is the cause
of this wailing." "I will," said she. Then he went forward unto an
open glade that was near the road. And in the glade he saw two
horses, one having a man's saddle, and the other a woman's saddle
