The quarrel was like as it were of gold, and it had about it a many costly precious stones. The King saith that quarrel so costly cometh not from a poor place. Lancelot and Messire Gawain say that never have they seen one so rich. It struck so deep in the column that the iron point thereof might not be seen, and a good part of the shaft was also hidden.

"And the time you came, when I was so ugly," she went on, "and so overgrown I was sad then, because I knew you would not like me. But the winds and the night were good to me.
Sir Lancelot laughed a little, though he was ever a grave man, and said, "Now must we call this knight, La Queue de Fer, by reason of the tail at his back." But Martimor was half merry and half wroth, and crying "'Ware!" he dressed his spear beneath his arm.
'I cannot marry her, answered Sir Lancelot, 'and it grieves me sorely, for she is a good maiden, fair and gentle.

She was on the point of plunging into her history and there was no necessity for doing this. She had not said a word to Lancelot Vane about herself and she did not intend to do so. He must think what he pleased about the adventure which had brought them together. He must have seen her leap from Dorrimore's carriage nay, he may have caught sight of Dorrimore himself.
"Yessir," said Mary Ann, with a dawning suspicion that her own vocabulary was going to be vindicated; "whenever I said 'she' she made me say ''er, and whenever I said 'her' she made me say 'she. When I said 'her and me' she made me say 'me and she, and when I said 'I got it from she, she made me say 'I got it from 'er." "Bravo! A very lucid exposition," said Lancelot, laughing.
King Arthur goeth on his way and Messire Gawain and Lancelot with him, and they pass through many strange countries, and so enter into a great forest. Lancelot called to remembrance the knight that he had slain in the Waste City whither behoved him to go, and knew well that the day whereon he should come was drawing nigh.
