King Claudas sent a privy message to Briant and bore him on hand that, and he might do so much as that King Arthur should forbid Lancelot his court, and that it were ill with him with the King, he would have much liking thereof and would help him betimes to take vengeance on his enemies, for, so Lancelot were forth of his court, and Messire Gawain, the rest would scarce abide long time, and thus should they have all their will of King Arthur's land.
The King made Briant of the Isles be healed, and held him in prison of a long while, until Briant gave him surety of all his lands and became his man. The King made him Seneschal of all his lands, and Briant served him right well. Lancelot was whole of his wound, and all the knights of theirs.
I've a mortial fear o' operations iver since me owld grandmother's pig got its foreleg took off at the hip-jint." "Hold your tongue, Paddy. Now the bump lies here just under eh! why, you haven't got so much as what!" "Plaize, I think it's lost in fat, sur," remarked Briant, in a plaintive tone, as if he expected to be reprimanded for not having brought his bump of combativeness along with him.
Perhaps he felt penitent on account of his wickedness; but it is more probable that he felt uneasy in body rather than in mind. "I say, Briant," cried Gurney. "That's me," answered the other. "If you are Jacko's self-appointed uncle, and Miss Ailie is his adopted mother, wot relation is Miss Ailie to you?"
"Sir," saith Briant, "They of the country reckon nought of you nor any other but Lancelot only, and they say that and you send him there they will make him King." "It may well be that they say so," saith the King, "But never would Lancelot do aught that should be against my will."
Phil Briant had many; but his most striking peculiarity, and that which led him frequently into extremely awkward positions, was a firm belief that his special calling in an amateur point of view was the redressing of wrongs not wrongs of a particular class, or wrongs of an excessively glaring and offensive nature, but all wrongs whatsoever.
The land lieth far away from you, and more will it cost you to hold it than it is worth; and, if you will believe my counsel, you will trouble yourself no more about it, and they of the country would be well counselled and they did the same." "Briant," saith the King, "This would be great blame to myself. No worshipful man ought to be idle in guarding and holding that which is his own.
"They did; but all the widders are married again, and most of the children are grown up." Briant looked as if he did not feel quite sure whether he ought to regard this as a comforting piece of information or the reverse, and wisely remained silent.
The whole party, who were ignorant of the man's profession, started at this remark, and looked at the dealer in surprise. "Wot!" exclaimed Tim Rokens, withdrawing his pipe from his lips; "do you sell niggers?" "Yees, to be surely," replied the man, with a peculiarly saturnine smile. "A slave-dealer?" exclaimed Briant, clenching his fists. "Even so, sare."
He had one son whose name was Meliant, and he had not forgotten his father's death; rather, thereof did wrath rankle in his heart. He heard tell that Briant of the Isles had great force and great puissance, and that he warred upon King Arthur's land, insomuch as that he had already slain many of his knights. Thitherward goeth he, and is come to where Briant was in a castle of his own.
