While still another thought so holy a thing would never be permitted
to go so far as England and that the knight's search was fruitless.

From Rome Sir Galahad went north to Lombardy in search of news of Sir
Vilard. Long was his search here but not hopeless. Nor need we make
record of how at last he found that the Gascon was not dead but
imprisoned with some of the other knights of that ill fated group. And
when ransom was agreed to he returned to Rome and sent a message to
Sir Launcelot by a friendly English knight to find the Lady Jeanne and
have sent to him the ransom desired.

Months passed. Then came Ambrose and with him the gold for the freedom
of his father and his companions. So that they were free. Only then
did Sir Galahad go on.

He reached the Holy Land in company with others, men who came there to
pay reverence, men who came to repent of many sins, men who ever
restless must journey everywhere. And on the way he had gained the
friendship of an old priest whose journey he had made somewhat the
lighter by such help as youth may offer old age.

The priest had been greatly interested in the mission of the knight.
Many were his questions, of where Sir Galahad had traveled, how far he
purposed to journey in his search.

"My journeys shall not cease, good father, until I have found the
Grail. For so have I set my whole life that I may find it. And time
counts not. Though I wish it could be found right soon for then may I
turn my face to England." Since Sir Galahad had spoken of Yosalinde,
the priest understood.
