"Where's your monk, Friar Tuck; I thought he was with you?" Sir Galahad inquired. "Did you?" Phyllis asked sweetly. She was not mumbling, but her voice was not at all natural and she had no fear of the knight's recognizing her for she felt quite sure she did not know him. "But I don't understand.
Is he handsome, this Sir Galahad of yours?" There was a covert malice in the question that failed of its intent, for Grace said steadily: "Not handsome in the common acceptance of the term, perhaps, but the manliest man I have ever seen." "And you have seen so many," murmured the other comprehensively. "He interests me more than ever. Is he irrevocably lost to me?"
"I," said Quinine, "It's a habit of mine, I'll come with his wine." Who'll put him to proof? "I," said All Earth, "Whatever he's worth, I'll put to the proof." Who'll choose him for Knight? "I," said his Mother, "Before any other, My very own knight!" And after this fashion, adventure to seek, Was Sir Galahad made as it might be last week!
Then Galahad drew out his sword and smote off the left arm of him, so that it fell to the earth. And then he fled, and Sir Galahad pursued fast after him.
Many that before had hated Sir Lancelot were moved by these noble words, and by the sight of his mercy; and they deemed that there was hardly another man in all Christendom that would have shown such nobility, save Sir Galahad and Sir Perceval, and they were dead.

I'd like to be, but it wouldn't be of any use. He's a Galahad a pocket-edition Galahad. If he ever falls in love, there'll be more of romance in it than I can give him."
So Sir Galahad rested him there that night; and upon the morn he made the squire knight, and asked him his name, and of what kindred he was come. Sir, said he, men calleth me Melias de Lile, and I am the son of the King of Denmark. Now, fair sir, said Galahad, sith that ye be come of kings and queens, now look that knighthood be well set in you, for ye ought to be a mirror unto all chivalry.
She said that what she wanted was something more like Lancelot or Sir Galahad, and would I look on the episode as closed." "Did you explain about the trousers?" "Yes. It seemed to make things worse. She said that she could forgive a man anything except being ridiculous." "I think you're well out of it," said Sam, judicially. "She can't have been much of a girl." "I feel that now.
You will laugh if I suggest that we may have made in Fleet Street an atmosphere in which a man can be so passionate as Sir Lancelot and as pure as Sir Galahad. But, after all, we have in the modern world erected many such atmospheres. We have, for instance, a new and imaginative appreciation of children." "Quite so," replied MacIan with a singular smile.
Come out with me this night, and before you die you shall see this vision. "Then I followed Sir Galahad out of the chapel. We climbed a hill which was steep and rugged, Sir Galahad going first, and his silver armor guiding me.
