the flesh of the wild boar. "My mother told me," said Peredur,
"wheresoever I saw meat and drink, to take it." "Take the meat and
welcome, chieftain," said she. So Peredur took half of the meat and
of the liquor himself, and left the rest to the maiden. And when
Peredur had finished eating, he bent upon his knee before the maiden.
