"To-morrow, lady, I think he will be here with the maiden."
Then Arthur came to him; and he saluted Arthur. And Arthur gazed a long time upon him, and was amazed to see him thus. And, thinking that he knew him, he inquired of him, "Art thou Edeyrn the son of Nudd?"
"I am, lord," said he, "and I have met with much trouble, and received wounds insupportable." Then he told Arthur all his adventure.
"Well," said Arthur, "from what I hear, it behooves Gwenhwyvar to be merciful towards thee."
"The mercy which thou desirest, lord," said she, "will I grant to him, since it is as insulting to thee that an insult should be offered to me as to thyself."
"Thus will it be best to do," said Arthur. "Let this man have medical care until it be known whether he may live. And, if he live, he shall do such satisfaction as shall be judged best by the men of the court; and take thou sureties to that effect."
"This pleases me," said Gwenhwyvar. And Arthur became surety for Edeyrn, and Caradawc the son of Llyr, Gwallawg the son of Llenawg, and Owain the son of Nudd, and Gwalchmai, and many others with them. And Arthur caused Morgan Tud to be called to him. He was the chief physician.
"Take with thee Edeyrn the son of Nudd, and cause a chamber to be prepared for him, and let him have the aid of medicine as thou wouldest do unto myself, if I were wounded, and let none into his chamber to molest him, but thyself and thy disciples to administer to him remedies."
"I will do so gladly, lord," said Morgan Tud.
Then said the steward of the household, "Whither is it right, lord, to order the maiden?"
