So then the strange yeoman departed whilst the knight and his faithful
man went on their way.




CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

In Normandy


Of the travels of Sir Galahad, of how he journeyed through many lands
and new scenes, there is much to be told. Ever with him, went his
faithful man, Walker, who served him well and loyally.

Eager was the young knight to reach Normandy of which he had heard
much. So he sailed away and since many rumors held the Grail to be
there he hoped to find it.

In Normandy, a strange land, he met with much adventure, many knights
brave and true, and some who were not. But no sign of the Grail was
there to be had.

On his white horse, the Seeker, he made his way southward, finding
lodging where he could.

It was so, in the first month of his travels, that he came to the
castle of one of the best of Normandy's knights. Of him, Sir Launcelot
had spoken highly; he held him in great esteem, and so had counseled
the youthful knight to make it his purpose to visit him when there.
