HORRORj FROM WITHIN THE TENT
COME 5 THE SNEERING INSOLENCE OP
SIR GAWAINS GREETING.. ..COLD FURY
IN SIR LANCELOT'S COURTLY ANSWER ! .
UPON THEIR NEXT WORDS HANG THE
UNITY OF THE ROUND TABLE AND THE
WELFARE OF BRITAIN.
VAL FLINGS ASIDE THE TENT FLAP AND SWINGS THE BLUSHING
MAID INSIDE; FOR WELL HE KNOWS THAT LANCELOT'S COURTES
WILL NOT ALLOW HARSH WORDS SPOKEN BEFORE A LADY, AND A
PRETTY GIRL WILL OCCUPY GAWAIN'S ATTENTION ABOVE ALL ELSE.I
THE LITTLE STEWARD, WHO IS EVER AT
WILLIAM S SIDE, HAS BECOME WELL
AWARE OF THE DANGEROUS SITUATION.
WITH GOOD-NATURED IMPUDENCE AND
SUBTLE WIT HE BRINGS FORTH SMILES
AND, FINALLY, LAUGHTER. AND WITH ,
THE LAUGHTER ENMITY FADES.
THEN WILLIAM VERNON FORMALLY INTRODUCES GWENDOLYN
BERKELEY. SHE IS SWEET AND SHY, BUT OF READY WIT. SO...
VAL SAYS' T S &rTNG THAT THS FABEST AAAfO AT CAMSLOT
BE ESCORTED TO HER PARENTS BY THE HANDSOMEST KNGHT.
BOT WSH TO REMAW WITH WlUAY. WLL YOU ACCEPT
THE TWO NEXT BEST?"
VTTH A PRETTY MAID BETWEEN THEM
AND SIR GAWAIN MAKING EVERY EFFORT
TO BE FASCINATING, THERE IS NO FEAR .
OF THEIR QUARREL BEING RENEWED. ;
i SO THE GREAT TOURNAMENT COMES TO II
I AN END. THE FEAST OF PENTECOST II
I ROARS TO A RNISH, AND IT IS SAID 83
I THERE WERE MORE CASUALTIES AT THE il
BOAftD-THANNIE LISTS.
AND KING ARTHUR FINDS HE NEEDS A
SPECIAL MAN FOR A SPECIAL QUEST, AND
PRINCE VALIANT IS SUMMONED.
