Appearance of the Duke of Logreus
So Jurgen from the table the that were set there in for a game, and he the upon the ground. His for not with the he to the Princess: she shivered, and said that, such being the case, he was very sensible. Then they mounted, and from the black and pavilion. They came thus without to Gogyrvan Gawr's city of Cameliard.
Now there was and the all when the people their Princess was returned to them: the houses were with painted and banners, and sounded, as Guenevere and Jurgen came to the King in his Hall of Judgment. And this Gogyrvan, that was King of Glathion and Lord of Enisgarth and Camwy and Sargyll, came from his wide throne, and he Guenevere, then Jurgen.
"And of me what you will, Duke of Logreus," said Gogyrvan, when he had the champion's name, "and it is yours for the asking. For you have to me the best loved that was the of a high king."
"Sir," Jurgen, reasonably, "a service so should be its own reward. So I am that you do in turn to me the Princess Guenevere, in marriage, do you understand, I am a widower, I am certain, but I am I love your with my whole heart."
Thus Jurgen, were by emotion.
"I do not see what the condition of your has to do with any such request. And you have no good to be this thing of me when here are the of Arthur, that is now King of the Britons, come to ask for my as his wife. That you are Duke of Logreus you tell me, and I a is all very well: but I you in return to a king takes precedence, with any man is marriageable. But to-morrow or the next day it may be, you and I will talk over your more privately. Meanwhile it is very and very you are looking, to be the who Thragnar."
For Jurgen was at the great the King's throne. In this Jurgen saw the of Gogyrvan's head, and this, Jurgen saw a and looking fellow, with black hair, and an nose, and wide-open which were hard at Jurgen: and the lad's very red and very were parted, so that you saw what teeth he had: and he a shirt with on it
"I was thinking," says Jurgen, and he saw the in the was speaking too, "I was that is a you have there."
"It is like any other mirror," the King, "in that it as they are. But if you it as your reward, why, take it and welcome."
"And are you still talking of rewards!" Jurgen. "Why, if that as they are, I have come out of my Wednesday still twenty-one. Oh, but it was the I was, to Mother Sereda so cunningly, and to her into such generosity! And I wonder that you who are only a king, with under your crown, and with a under all your robes, should be talking of a of twenty-one, for there is nothing you have which I need be wanting now."
"Then you will not be me any more with your nonsense about my daughter: and that is excellent news."
"But I have no to be your good now," said Jurgen, "nor the good will of any man alive that has a or a wife. For now I have the of a that was very Duke of Logreus: and with his I can look out for myself, and I can done me everywhere, in all the of the world."
And Jurgen his fingers, and was about to turn away from the King. There was much in the hall, so that Jurgen in this half-turn his as it plain upon the flagstones. And Jurgen looked at it very intently.
"Of course," said Jurgen presently, "I only meant in a manner of speaking, sir: and was the if passage from Sornatius, with which you are familiar, in which he goes on to say, so much more than I possibly without him word for word, that all this was spoken jestingly, and without the least of anybody, oh, whatever, I can you, sir."
"Very well," said Gogyrvan Gawr: and he smiled, for no that was to Jurgen, who was still his sidewise. "To-morrow, I repeat, I must talk with you more privately. To-day I am a such as was in these parts, my is to me, and my is going to be queen over all the Britons."
So said Gogyrvan, that was King of Glathion and Lord of Enisgarth and Camwy and Sargyll: and this was done. And at the Jurgen talk of this King Arthur who was to Dame Guenevere, and of the which Merlin Ambrosius had as to the monarch. For Merlin had predicted:
"He shall succor, and shall upon the necks of his enemies: the of the shall be by him, and he shall the of Gaul: the house of Romulus shall his rage, and his shall be food for the narrators."
"Why, then," says Jurgen, to himself, "this me in all of David of Israel, who was so and famous, and so greedy, in the ages. For to these and and necks and other possessions, this Arthur Pendragon must be adding my one lamb; and I a Nathan to him to repentance. Now, but this, to be sure, is a very thing."
Then Jurgen looked again into a mirror: and presently the of the he to twinkle.
"Have at you, David!" said Jurgen, valorously; "since after all, I see no to despair."
