And one day they saw three knights coming along the horse-road on the borders of the forest. And the three knights were Gwalchmai the son of Gwyar, and Geneir Gwystyl, and Owain the son of Urien. And Owain kept on the track of the knight who had divided the apples in Arthur's court, whom they were in pursuit of.
"Mother," said Peredur, "what are those yonder?"
"They are angels, my son," said she.
"By my faith," said Peredur, "I will go and become an angel with them." And Peredur went to the road, and met them.
"Tell me, good soul," said Owain, "sawest thou a knight pass this way either to-day or yesterday?"
"I know not," answered he, "what a knight is."
"Such an one as I am," said Owain.
"If thou wilt tell me what I ask thee, I will tell thee that which thou askest me."
"Gladly will I do so," replied Owain.
"What is this?" demanded Peredur, concerning the saddle.
