was gayety, and they talked together, in strode a youth clad in sheeny satin. He was of noble bearing and had auburn hair. He saluted Powell and his knights courteously. At once Powell, the lord of Narberth, invited the stranger to come and sit down as guest beside him. "Not so," replied the youth. "I am a suitor, and have come to crave a boon of thee." Without guile or suspicion, Powell replied innocently. "Ask what you will. If in my power, it shall be yours." But Rhiannon chided Powell. She asked, "Oh, why did you give him such an answer?" "But he did give it," cried the auburn haired youth. Then turning to the whole company of nobles, he appealed to them: "Did he not pledge his word, before you all, to give me what I asked?" Then, turning to Powell, he said: "The boon I ask is this, to have thy bride, Rhiannon. Further, I want this feast and banquet to celebrate, in this place, our wedding." At this demand, Powell seemed to have been struck dumb. He did not speak, but Rhiannon did.
