[120] Two towns there he had promised them, the most choice and the best situated that there were in all his land, with nothing to fear from attack. TWO TOWNS THERE HE HAD PROMISED THEM THE MOST CHOICE AND THE BEST SITUATED THAT THERE WERE IN ALL HIS LAND WITH NOTHING TO FEAR FROM ATTACK
 When the kiss of the Stag was taken according to the custom of the country, Erec, like a polite and kind man, was solicitous for his poor host. It was not his intention to fail to execute what he had promised. Hear how he kept his covenant: for he sent him now five sumpter mules, strong and sleek, loaded with dresses and clothes, buckrams and scarlets, marks of gold and silver plate, furs both vair and grey, skins of sable, purple stuffs, and silks. When the mules were loaded with all that a gentleman can need, he sent with them an escort of ten knights and sergeants chosen from his own men, and straightly charged them to salute his host and show great honour both to him and to his lady, as if it were to himself in person; and when they should have presented to them the sumpters which they brought them, the gold, the silver, and money, and all the other furnishings which were in the boxes, they should escort the lady and the vavasor with great honour into his kingdom of Farther Wales.
