behaved well toward me, then you will probably be willing
to lend me a horse and weapons and permit me that I
might see this tournament.” “I know,” he said, “that my
life is at stake, if I do that, but nevertheless because of
your courteous manners and good looks I am willing to risk
that, if you agree to this—to come back here before my
