So then Sir Galahad and Sir Launcelot with the two squires went for and obtained their horses, without suspicion. With the two they had rescued, the whole party rode forth from the castle. And but for the outcry of the guards at the gate which they forced them to open wide, they had no one to cope with.
Forth they road swiftly, Merlin carrying the young girl and Charles supporting the boy, leaving the others free to ride behind and meet such pursuers as might come.
But none pursued.
"I think they will find a task on hand to care for the other prisoners the open dungeon door unloosed," Sir Galahad said.
"And with the wonder over Sir Dolphus," Sir Launcelot added and his look was far away.
A day later found them at the castle of Sanscourt. Happy was my Lady Jeanne over the return of her dear children and grateful, too. It did not take long for them to prepare to go forth to England with Sir Launcelot and Merlin.
So they bade each the other goodbye. And as they went forth, Sir Galahad watching them go, said to the Lady Jeanne,
"Still hope, my lady. For I shall bring or send you word of Sir Vilard, good or bad."
"I shall never cease to hope, Sir Galahad. And I shall pray for you, each day until you return."
