The Mill | Henry van Dyke | |
Yet More of the Mill, and of the Same Delay, also of the Maid |
Page 1 of 2 |
Now at the end of the third month, which was November, Martimor made Lirette to understand that it was high time he should ride farther to follow his quest. For the miller was now recovered, and it was long that they had heard and seen naught of Flumen, and doubtless that black knave was well routed and dismayed that he would not come again. Lirette prayed him and desired him that he would tarry yet one week. But Martimor said, No! for his adventures were before him, and that he could not be happy save in the doing of great deeds and the winning of knightly fame. Then he showed her the Blue Flower in his shield that was nameless, and told her how Sir Lancelot had said that he must find it, then should he name it and have both crest and motto. "Does it grow in my garden?" said Lirette. "I have not seen it," said he, "and now the flowers are all faded." "Perhaps in the month of May?" said she. "In that month I will come again," said he, "for by that time it may fortune that I shall achieve my quest, but now forth must I fare." |
