A worshipful lady in sooth one might call her ! In figure was she short and broad, and thickly made — ^far fairer to behold was she whom she led by the hand. When Gawain beheld that fair lady, who looked at him graciously, with leave of the lord he went towards them, and, bowing low, he greeted the elder, but the younger and fairer he took lightly in his arms, and kissed her courteously, and greeted her in knightly wise. Then she hailed him as friend, and he quickly prayed to be counted as her ...servant, if she so willed. Then they took him be- tween them, and talking, led him to the chamber, to the hearth, and bade them tift 6tttn Sinislit 37 bring spices, and they brought them in plenty with the good wine that was wont to be drunk at such seasons. Then the lord sprang to his feet and bade them make merry, and took ofif his hood, and hung it on a spear, and bade him win the worship thereof who should make most mirth that Christmas-tide. " And I shall try, by my faith, to fool it with the best, by the help of my friends, ere I lose my raiment." Thus with gay words the lord made trial to gladden Gawain with jests that night, till it was time to bid them light the tapers, and Sir Gawain took leave of them and gat him to rest.
