In the town there was great anxiety about the Count who had been killed; but there is no one, however brave, who follows Erec to take revenge. IN THE TOWN THERE WAS GREAT ANXIETY ABOUT THE COUNT WHO HAD BEEN KILLED BUT THERE IS NO ONE HOWEVER BRAVE WHO FOLLOWS ERIC TO TAKE REVENGE
 line. Thus they make good their escape in flight, for one dares not stand upon another's going. Erec ran to seize his shield, hanging it about his neck by the strap, while Enide lays hands upon the lance. Then they step out into the courtyard. There is no one so bold as to offer resistance; for they did not believe it could be a man who had thus expelled them, but a devil or some enemy who had entered the dead body. Erec pursues them as they flee, and finds outside in the castle-yard a stable-boy in the act of leading his steed to the watering-place, all equipped with bridle and saddle. This chance encounter pleased Erec well: as he steps up quickly to the horse, the boy in fear straightway yields him up. Erec takes his seat between the saddle-bows, while Enide, seizing the stirrup, springs up on to the horse's neck, as Erec, who bade her mount, commanded and instructed her to do. The horse bears them both away; and finding open the town gate, they make their escape without detention. OULD FAIN GET INTO THE FOREMOST LINE THUS THEY MAKE GOOD THEIR ESCAPE IN FLIGHT FOR ONE DARES NOT STAND UPON ANOTHER'S GOING ERIC RAN TO SEIZE HIS SHIELD HANGING IT ABOUT HIS NECK BY THE STRAP WHILE A NEED LAYS HANDS UPON THE LANCE THEN THEY STEP OUT INTO THE COURTYARD THERE IS NO ONE SO BOLD AS TO OFFER RESISTANCE FOR THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IT COULD BE MAN WHO THUS EXPELLED THEM BUT A DEVIL OR SOME ENEMY WHO HAD ENTERED THE DEAD BODY ERIC PURSUES THEM AS THEY FLEE AND FINDS OUTSIDE IN THE CATTLE YARD A STABLE BOY IN THE ACT OF LEADING HIS STEED TO THE WATERING PLACE ALL EQUIPPED WITH BRIDLE AND SADDLE THIS CHANCING COUNTER PLEASED ERIC WELL AS HE STEPS UP QUICKLY TO THE HORSE THE BOY IN FEAR STRAIGHTWAY YIELDS HIM UP ERIC TAKES HIS SEAT BETWEEN THE SADDLE BOWS WHILE ANEDE SEIZING THE STIRRUP SPRINGS UP ON TO THE HORSE'S NECK AS ERIC WHO BADE HER MOUNT COMMANDED AND INSTRUCTED HER TO DO THE HORSE BEARS THEM BOTH AWAY AND FINDING OPEN THE TOWN GATE THEY MAKE THEIR ESCAPE WITHOUT DETENTION
