"Lo," said Sir Dinadan, "that helm is unhappy to us twain, for I had a fall for it, and now, sir king, have ye another fall."
Then Segwarides asked, "Who shall joust with me?"
"I pray thee," said Sir Gareth unto Dinadan, "let me have this jousts."
"Sir," said Dinadan, "I pray you take it as for me."
"That is no reason," said Tristram, "for this jousts should be yours."
"At a word," said Sir Dinadan, "I will not thereof."
Then Gareth dressed him to Sir Segwarides, and there Sir Segwarides smote Sir Gareth and his horse to the earth.
"Now," said Sir Tristram to Dinadan, "joust with yonder knight."
"I will not thereof," said Dinadan.
"Then will I," said Sir Tristram.
