"It must be a fair sort of hole, judging from the specimens you see crawling about in Kay caps. I wish I'd known my people were sending young Billy there. I'd have warned them. I only told them not to sling him in here. I had no idea they'd have picked Kay's." "Fenn was telling me the other day," said Kennedy, "that being in Kay's had spoiled his whole time at the school.
"My lord," said he, "I know the meaning of all this, and my request is that thou wilt permit me to throw the water on the slab, and to receive the first adventure that may befall." And Arthur gave him leave. Then Kay threw a bowlful of water upon the slab, and immediately there came the thunder, and after the thunder the shower. And such a thunder-storm they had never known before.
It is my turn to repay you for your insults; so, sirrah, defend yourself." Kay thereupon put his spear in rest and rode upon Beaumains, who awaited him sword in hand. When they came together, Beaumains, with a skilful parry, turned aside the spear, and then with a vigorous thrust wounded Kay in the side, so that he fell from his horse like a dead man.
"I think I know; I think that it may be little Kay. But now he has forgotten you for the Princess." "Does he live with a Princess?" asked Gerda. "Yes listen," said the Raven; "but it will be difficult for me to speak your language. If you understand the Raven language I can tell you better."

He caught up with the youth just as the latter reached the side of the damsel, and Sir Kay cried out, with a scornful laugh: 'What! Beaumains, do ye not know me? 'Ay, replied Beaumains, 'I know ye for the most ungentle knight in all King Arthur's court, and therefore keep you off from me. 'Ah, churl! cried Sir Kay, 'thou needst a lesson from me.
Oh, those were very dark, long winter days! But now spring came, with warmer sunshine. "Kay is dead and gone," said little Gerda. "I don't believe it," said the Sunshine. "He is dead and gone," said she to the Sparrows. "We don't believe it," they replied; and at last little Gerda did not believe it herself.
"Now, by my faith, I know well," said Sir Kay, "that he will grieve some of King Arthur's knights, for they will deem that it is I, and will be bold to meet him. But by cause of his armor I am sure I shall ride in peace." Then Sir Kay thanked his host and departed. Sir Launcelot rode in a deep forest, and there he saw four knights, under an oak, and they were of Arthur's court.
The flashy man had a banjo now and was strumming it and leering at the girl. "What people to encounter in this corner of Paradise," she said laughingly.
