"I am called Gwalchmai," he replied.
"I am right glad to meet with thee," said Peredur; "for in every country where I have been I have heard of thy fame for prowess and uprightness, and I solicit thy fellowship."
"Thou shalt have it, by my faith; and grant me thine," said he.
"Gladly will I do so," answered Peredur.
So they rode forth together joyfully towards the place where Arthur was; and, when Kai saw them coming, he said, "I knew that Gwalchmai needed not to fight the knight. And it is no wonder that he should gain fame: more can he do by his fair words than I by the strength of my arm."
And Peredur went with Gwalchmai to his tent, and they took off their armor. And Peredur put on garments like those that Gwalchmai wore, and they went together unto Arthur, and saluted him.
"Behold, lord," said Gwalchmai, "him whom thou hast sought so long."
"Welcome unto thee, chieftain!" said Arthur. "With me thou shalt remain; and, had I known thy valor had been such, thou shouldst not have left me as thou didst. Nevertheless, this was predicted of thee by the dwarf and the dwarfess, whom Kai ill treated, and whom thou hast avenged."
And hereupon, behold, there came the queen and her handmaidens; and Peredur saluted them. And they were rejoiced to see him, and bade him welcome. And Arthur did him great honor and respect. And they returned towards Caerlleon.
And the first night Peredur came to Caerlleon, to Arthur's court, and, as he walked in the city after his repast, behold, there met him Angharad Law Eurawc.
