It brought a great gulp of pity into Allan's throat and unbidden tears came to his eyes. Sir Launcelot too was moved. Some of the prisoners were so weak they could hardly move. Wonkin had found his brother almost at once and theirs was a happy meeting. "Go you up, good Allan, and order that food be brought for these wretches. And see to it that there is plenty of it."
But these did not harm for Wonkin and the other two stood under cover of trees and so were not easy targets. Twice more they let their arrows fly and five men of the forty had been stopped. Now as the others came at them with clubs and mace, Sir Launcelot commanded Wonkin and the other two to withdraw a hundred pace and from there continue to let their arrows fly.
On this, the eighth day of their occupancy of the castle, the men were a haggard lot. Little sleep had they. Some of them had been wounded, wonder it was that these were so few and that none were dead. Sir Neil was lost to them for the time, Wonkin, too had fought heroically but had fallen, sorely wounded in an attack.
Now Sir Launcelot brought down the two knights and the others like wolves stood off snarling at him, yet out of reach. Sir Neil too was freer. There were but ten of the attackers now. The others were either strewn about the ground or were making their escape. And of these ten, two even then were brought down by the arrows of Wonkin and his two comrades.
"And if you will, masters, yonder cruel knight is cruel master as well. And he holds my own brother within his prison walls for small cause. So I pray you, masters, succor him." "Of a surety, Wonkin," said Sir Percival, "we shall make every effort to set your brother free. Neil and I shall go forward and so find ourselves seemingly enmeshed by them.
He had watched but had not joined in the struggle. Now, Wonkin and the two men at arms were there and so was Allan. "Will you, good men, try out your bows on these hinds who are coming thitherward?" said Sir Percival. Straightway then there flew three well aimed arrows. Then others flew and now answering arrows from the oncomers.
