You, in whom Arthur put his trust, have entered on this battle without any commandment of our lord. If well befalls, all will be well; if ill, he will require his sergeants at our hands.

So I kiss the hand of my Lady Viscountess and were I at Dudhope I might venture upon her lips, aye, more than once.
