So Sir Agravaine feutred his spear, and that other was ready, and smote him down over his horse to the earth. And in the same wise he smote Sir Uwaine les Avoutres and also Sir Griflet. Then had he served them all but Sir Dinadan, for he was behind, and Sir Mordred was unarmed, and Dagonet had his harness.
They've never forgiven me for his having had to go into business with their aristocratic ideas they look down on a man who works for his living. Of course it's all right for YOU to do it, because you're not a Marvell or a Dagonet; but they think Ralph ought to just lie back and let you support the baby and me."
"He can write poetry at least he tells me he can." Mr. Dagonet hesitated, as if aware of the inadequacy of the alternative, and then added: "And he can count on three thousand a year from me." Mr. Spragg tilted himself farther back without disturbing his subtly-calculated relation to the scrap basket. "Does it cost anything like that to print his poetry?" Mr.
"Did this weasel king say aught as to the number of men he would send against us?" "Only, master, that when he mentioned that he would send one hundred or more and with them twenty knights, one there, thought that number not enough and advised that the king add to it. Which the king said he would do." "The more the better," said Sir Dagonet. "A strange wish," said Sir Neil.
He thought the condition was due to cerebral edema, as did other writers of that period. Dagonet remarks about this last a lesson not learned in fifty years by the profession that demonstrable edema does not produce the typical symptoms of stupor.
As for those swineherds, when they saw what their fool did to that other fool, they roared with laughter so that some of them rolled down upon the ground and lay grovelling there for pure mirth. But others of them called out to Sir Tristram, "Let be, or thou wilt drown that man"; and therewith Sir Tristram let Sir Dagonet go, and Sir Dagonet ran away.
So thus he rode with her two days; and by fortune there came Sir Palomides and encountered with him, and he in the same wise served him as did Bleoberis to-forehand. What dost thou here in my fellowship? said the damosel Maledisant, thou canst not sit no knight, nor withstand him one buffet, but if it were Sir Dagonet.
Just then Sir Tristram came unto them, and first he soused Sir Dagonet in that well, and then his squires, and thereat laughed the shepherds. Forthwithal he ran after their horses, and brought them again one by one, and right so, wet as they were, he made Sir Dagonet and his squires mount and ride their ways. Thus Sir Tristram endured there a half-year, and would never come in town or village.
Tristram followed him, brandishing the sword wildly, and leaping like a madman as he rushed into the forest. When Dagonet had recovered from his swoon, he rode to King Mark's court, and there told what had happened to him in the wildwood. "Let all beware," he said, "how they come near that forest well.
Upstairs, in his brown firelit room, he threw himself into an armchair, and remembered... Harvard first then Oxford; then a year of wandering and rich initiation. Returning to New York, he had read law, and now had his desk in the office of the respectable firm in whose charge the Dagonet estate had mouldered for several generations. But his profession was the least real thing in his life.
