He draws back and whispers in the ear of one of the squires, bidding him go quickly and tell the King to take measures at once to take down and lower his tents and come and set them up in the middle of the road three or four leagues in advance of where they now are. There the King must lodge to-night, if he wishes to meet and extend hospitality to the best knight in truth whom he can ever hope to see; but who will not go out of his way for a lodging at the bidding of any one.

The King mounted Aubagu, and the Queen afterwards mounted a white Norse palfrey.

Y YET WILL I NOT TURN ASIDE FROM MY WAY TO SEEK A LODGING PLACE SO YOU NEED NOT LONGER WAIT I THANK YOU BUT YOU MAY BE GONE NOW GAWAIN WAS A MAN OF SENSE HE DRAWS BACK AND WHISPERS IN THE EAR OF ONE OF HIS SQUIRES BIDDING HIM GO QUICKLY AND TELL THE KING TO TAKE MEASURES AT ONCE TO TAKE DOWN AND LOWER HIS TENTS AND COME AND SET THEM UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THREE OR FOUR LEAGUES IN ADVANCE OF WHERE THEY NOW ARE THERE THE KING MUST LODGE TO NIGHT IF HE WISHES TO MEET AND EXTEND HOSPITALITY TO THE BEST KNIGHT IN TRUTH WHOM HE CAN EVER HOPE TO SEE BUT WHO WILL NOT GO OUT OF HIS WAY FOR A LODGING AT THE BIDDING OF ANY ONE THE FELLOW WENT AND GAVE HIS MESSAGE THE KING WITHOUT DELAY CAUSES HIS TENTS TO BE TAKEN DOWN NOW THEY ARE LOWERED THE SUMTERS LOADED AND OFF THEY SET THE KING MOUNTED ABAGU AND THE QUEEN AFTERWARDS MOUNTED A WHITE NORSE PALFREY ALL THIS WHILE MY LORD GAWEN DID NOT CEASE TO DETAIN ERIC UNTIL THE LATTER SAID TO HIM YESTERDAY I COVERED MORE GROUND THAN I SHALL DO TO DAY
