He hasdone evil to this lady, and to that knight, who is now the husband ofthe dame. Sire, she was once the wife of that lord who was so closeand private to your heart, but who went, and none might find where hehad gone. Now, therefore, put the dame in a sure place, andquestion her straitly, so that she may tell--if perchance she knowsthereof--for what reason this Beast holds her in such mortal hate. Formany a strange deed has chanced, as well we know, in this marvellousland of Brittany. " The ...King listened to these words, and deemed the counsel good. He laidhands upon the knight, and put the dame in surety in another place. Hecaused them to be questioned right straitly, so that their torment wasvery grievous. At the end, partly because of her distress, and partlyby reason of her exceeding fear, the lady's lips were loosed, and shetold her tale. She showed them of the betrayal of her lord, and howhis raiment was stolen from the hollow stone. Since then she knew notwhere he went, nor what had befallen him, for he had never comeagain to his own land.
