When Kay the Seneschal seeth that he may not harm him, he turneth him
back, full of great wrath, and his heart pricketh to avenge him thereof
and he may get at him, for he is the knight of the court that most he
hateth. He is come back to the Castle of the Hard Rock. Briant of the
Isles asketh him who hath wounded him in such sort, and he telleth him
that he was bringing thither Ywain li Aoutres when Lancelot rescued him.
"And the King," saith Briant, "Is he repaired thither?"
"I have heard no tidings of him at all," saith Kay, "For no leisure had
I to ask of any."
Briant and his knights take much thought as concerning Lancelot's
coming, for they are well persuaded that Lancelot hath come for that
the King is dead and Messire Gawain, whereof they make right great joy.
Kay the Seneschal maketh him be disarmed and his wound searched. They
tell him he need not fear it shall be his death, but that he is right
sore wounded.
