"I care not if he is," said Gawaine. "However good a knight he be, he shall not challenge us unanswered." "Then let me meet him first. I am the weaker, and if he strikes me down you can revenge me."

"Do you mean," he asked, "that because I didn't fill the woodbox right away, I was being a discord?" "You were what?" demanded the amazed Simeon Holly.
