Arthur.
Well may you ask! “What is it that all women most desire?”
All.
[Repeat, as it were a lesson.] “What is it that all women most desire?”
Guinevere.
“What is it that all women most desire?” Oh, my dear love, as if there could be but one answer to that! All women most desire what I, most fortunate of women, have: A loving husband which is also a true and faithful knight of worship and renown!
[Many of those present concur in this, saying, “In sooth the Queen speaks for all!” and, “Now, could there be two minds about that!” and, “Gramercy, so also say I!” Others, however, differ, murmuring, “I doubt that is right!” and, “What is truth for one may not be truth for other!” and the like. Guinevere notices this and exclaims, saying] How now! It seems we are not all of one opinion!
Dame Laurel.
