 "Arthur went forth and the whole assembly of the multitudes came to Arthur, and they took the road to the Forest.

"And after Arthur had gone forth Gwenhwyvar awoke and called to her maidens, and apparelled herself And one of them went, and she found but two horses in the stable, and Gwenhwyvar and one of her maidens mounted them, and went through the Usk, and followed the track of the men and the horses. And as they rode thus, they heard a loud and rushing sound; and they looked behind them, and beheld a Knight upon a hunter foal of mighty size; and the rider was a fair-haired youth, bare-legged, and of princely mien, and a golden-hilted sword was at his side, and a robe and a surcoat of satin were upon him; and around him was a scarf of blue purple, at each corner of which was a golden apple."
