"'Then,' said the damsel, 'I will go and obtain that which you ask for, according to your desire.'
"And turning her horse, she approached the camp again, so that all thought that she brought the agreement for the battle. But as she approached, she called the Kings to the door of the tent, and said,—
"'King Amadis, the Queen Calafia demands of you that you give order for her safe conduct, that she may come to-morrow morning and see your son.'
"Amadis began to laugh, and said to the Kings,—
"'How does this demand seem to you?'
"'I say, let her come,' said King Lisuarte; 'it is a very good thing to see the most distinguished woman in the world.'
"'Take this for your reply,' said Amadis to the damsel; 'and say that she shall be treated with all truth and honor.'
"The damsel, having received this message, returned with great pleasure to the Queen, and told her what it was. The Queen said to the Sultan,—
"'Wait and prosper, then, till I have seen him; and charge your people that in the mean time there may be no outbreak.'
"'Of that,' he said, 'you may be secure.'
