"With thy leave," said Peredur, "I will go hence."
"Verily, my brother, desirest thou this?"
"Yes, by my faith. And had it not been for love of thee, I should not have been here thus long."
"My soul," said she, "who art thou?"
"I am Peredur the son of Evrawc, from the North; and, if ever thou art in trouble or in danger, acquaint me therewith, and if I can I will protect thee."
So Peredur rode forth. And far thence there met him a lady, mounted on a horse that was lean and covered with sweat. And she saluted the youth.
"Whence comest thou, my sister?"
Then she told him the cause of her journey. Now she was the wife of the lord of the glade.
"Behold," said he, "I am the knight through whom thou art in trouble, and he shall repent it who has treated thee thus."
Thereupon, behold, a knight rode up, and he inquired of Peredur if he had seen a knight such as he was seeking.
