"Youth, you are a kitchen boy. Go back to your king; you are not fit to fight with me."
Gareth rode at him fiercely, saying:
"I am of nobler blood than you."
He fought so well that soon his enemy was overcome. Then Gareth said:
"Go to Arthur's Court and say that his kitchen boy sent you."
When the knight had departed, Gareth rode on, with the damsel in advance. After a little while she stopped her horse, and when he had caught up with her, she said:
"Youth, I do not smell the kitchen grease so much as I did."
Then she galloped off, laughing over her shoulder, while Gareth followed her, a little more slowly.
When they reached the second circle of the river, the damsel said:
"Here is the brother of the knight you overthrew. He is stronger than the first. You had better go home, kitchen boy."
