Erec follows close upon the knight through the town, until he saw him lodged. Then, very joyful, he passed on a little farther until he saw reclining upon some steps a vavasor [17] well on in years. EREC FALLS CLOSELY UPON THE KNIGHT THROUGH THE TOWN UNTIL HE SAW HIM LODGED THEN VERY JOYFUL HE PASSED ON A LITTLE FARTHER UNTIL HE SAW RECLINING UPON SOME STEPS A VAVASOR WELL ON IN YEARS
 Erec will be back." There is none who does not agree with her, and the King himself approves her words. (Vv. 342-392.) Erec steadily follows the knight who was armed and the dwarf who had struck him until they come to a well placed town, strong and fine [15]. They enter straight through the gate. Within the town there was great joy of knights and ladies, of whom there were many and fair. Some were feeding in the streets their sparrow-hawks and moulting falcons; others were giving an airing to their tercels, [16] their mewed birds, and young yellow hawks; others play at dice or other game of chance, some at chess, and some at backgammon. The grooms in front of the stables are rubbing down and currying the horses. The ladies are bedecking themselves in their boudoirs. As soon as they see the knight coming, whom they recognised with his dwarf and damsel, they go out three by three to meet him. The knight they all greet and salute, but they give no heed to Erec, for they did not know him.  I SAY POSTPONE THIS KISS UNTIL THE THIRD DAY WHEN EREC WILL BE BACK THERE IS NONE WHO DOES NOT AGREE WITH HER AND THE KING HIMSELF APPROVES HER WORDS EREC STEADILY FOLLOWS THE KNIGHT WHO WAS ARMED AND THE DWARF WHO HAD STRUCK HIM UNTIL THEY CAME TO A WELL PLACED TOWN STRONG AND FINE THEY ENTERED STRAIGHT THROUGH THE GATE WITHIN THE TOWN THERE WAS GREAT JOY OF KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF WHOM THERE WERE MANY AND FAIR SOME WERE FEEDING IN THE STREETS THEIR SPARROW HAWKS AND MOULTING FALCONS OTHERS WERE GIVING AN AIRING TO THEIR TURSELS THEIR MEWED BIRDS AND YOUNG YELLOW HAWKS OTHERS PLAY A DICE OR OTHER GAME OF CHANCE SOME A CHESS SOME A BACKGAMMON THE GROOMS IN FRONT OF THE STABLES ARE RUBBING DOWN AND CURRYING THE HORSES THE LADIES ARE BEDECKING THEMSELVES IN THEIR FOOTWARFS AS SOON AS THEY SEE THE KNIGHT COMING WHOM THEY RECOGNIZED WITH HIS DWARF AND DAMSEL THEY GO OUT THREE BY THREE TO MEET HIM THE THE NIGHT THEY ALL GREET AND SALUTE BUT THEY GIVE NO HEED TO ERIC FOR THEY DID NOT KNOW HIM
