this man have medical care until it be known whether he
may live. And if he live, he shall do such satisfaction as shall be
judged best by the men of the Court; and take thou sureties to that
effect. And it he die, too much will be the death of such a youth as
Edeyrn for an insult to a maiden." "This pleases me," said Gwenhwyvar.
And Arthur became surety for Edeyrn, and Caradawc the son of Llyr,
Gwallawg the son of Llenawg, and Owain the son of Nudd, and Gwalchmai,
and many others with them. And Arthur caused Morgan Tud to be called to
him. He was the chief physician. "Take with thee Edeyrn the son of
Nudd, and cause a chamber to be prepared for him, and let him have the
aid of medicine as thou wouldest do unto myself if I were wounded, and
let none into his chamber to molest him, but thyself and thy disciples,
to administer to him remedies." "I will do so, gladly, Lord," said
Morgan Tud. Then said the steward of the household, "Whither is it
right, Lord, to order the maiden?" "To Gwenhwyvar and her and maidens,"
said he. And the Steward of the Household so ordered her. Thus far
concerning them.

to be in white, seeming to be clad in a garment of linen." "Assemble all
the women," said Gwenhwyvar, "and come to meet Geraint, to welcome him,
and wish him joy." And Gwenhwyvar went to meet Geraint and the maiden.
And when Geraint came to the place where Gwenhwyvar was, he saluted her.
"Heaven prosper thee," said she, "and welcome to thee. And thy career
has been successful, and fortunate, and resistless, and glorious. And
Heaven reward thee, that thou hast so proudly caused me to have
retribution." "Lady," said he, "I earnestly desired to obtain thee
satisfaction according to thy will; and, behold, here is the maiden
through whom thou hadst thy revenge." "Verily," said Gwenhwyvar, "the
welcome of Heaven be unto her; and it is fitting that we should receive
her joyfully." Then they went in, and dismounted. And Geraint came to
where Arthur was, and saluted him. "Heaven protect thee," said Arthur,
"and the welcome of Heaven be unto thee. And since {2
