'Twill be the better chance than leaving yon gentlemen to rid thee of them."
Ha, retorted Walthar, laughing grimly, thou wilt have to greet the troops of heroes with a side glance. When thou gettest thee home, make thee a larded broth of milk and flour, which will both nourish and cure thee. Then they placed on horseback the king, who was in sore pain.
Hasib wondered at the Queen's tale and shed many tears over it; then he again besought her to let him return to his family; but she said, "I fear me, O Hasib, that when thou gettest back to thy country thou wilt fail of thy promise and prove traitor to thine oath and enter the Hammam."
What thou gettest there, keep thou in thy hands until the dawn, or thy soul shall suffer death. Then he vanished, and Sir Lancelot knew it had been a phantom. Then as he crossed himself, he looked up, and through some thin and withered trees a little way off upon a slope he saw the shimmer of light, as if a chapel was lit up.
So this Sir Gareth rode so long in that forest until the night came. And ever it lightened and thundered, as it had been wood. At the last by fortune he came to a castle, and there he heard the waits upon the walls. THEN Sir Gareth rode unto the barbican of the castle, and prayed the porter fair to let him into the castle.

I suppose now ye feel considerable proud of having served in those marchant ships. But flukes! man, what makes thee want to go a whaling, eh? it looks a little suspicious, don't it, eh?

Spend this gold on thyself, trim this room, buy thee raiment, all that thou needest, I order, I command it! And hark thee, if thou gettest more, hide it from me, hide it well; men's desires are foul tempters! I never knew, in following wisdom, that I had a vice.
