at that castle was Yosalinde, Sir Percival's sister.

Again there were many who sought the favor of the King on this day.
There, too, were many knights present and among these were Sir
Gawaine, Sir Percival and Sir Launcelot, the three who had been there
the year before.

"And so, sire," the kitchen boy said, when the king turned to him, "I
have done my work as best I could. Now I crave my two boons."

"These shall be yours, if we have it in us to grant you item. What are
these boons you ask?"

"That I be made a knight by Sir Launcelot. Him and him only do I wish
to dub me with knighthood. And that furthermore you permit me to take
up the first adventure which may need knight to carry same."

"So shall it be. We pray you, however, that you give your name."

"That will I do, sire, after Sir Launcelot had jousted with me, if he
then finds me worthy of knighthood."

"Of a sooth," said Sir Kay, "you ask not much. That so brave a knight
should joust with a kitchen boy is fit cause for merriment." Loud was
that knight's laughter but none joined with him.

"Mayhap," said the strange youth, "it will be your pleasure to joust
first with me."

Uncertain seemed Sir Kay for a few moments.
