35598 | Speak out; what have you seen or heard? |
35598 | Tell me your names,demanded Arthur,"and why do you sit there by the fountain?" |
35598 | That knight does n''t belong to the Round Table, does he? |
35598 | The great Lancelot? |
35598 | Three horses and three suits of armor, and all in charge of-- whom? 35598 Well, if he is n''t dead, why should you cry for him so? |

35598 | Who is this? |
35598 | Who will go hunt this demon of the woods for me? |

35598 | Why do you laugh? |
35598 | Why do you mock me so? |
35598 | Why do you wear the crown royal on your shield? |
35598 | Why do you wear the royal crown? |
35598 | Why is your town so noisy and busy to- night, good old fellow? |
35598 | Would some of your kind people take him up and bear him off somewhere out of this cruel sun? 35598 Yes? |
35598 | Yes? 35598 You read the book, my pretty Vivien?" |
35598 | ''Have you seen him? |
35598 | ''Where is the crowd who called out to me?'' |
35598 | And again,"O, Merlin, do you love me?" |
35598 | And it is a sweet surprise, is n''t it? |
35598 | And_ then_ if I tried it on you who would blame me?" |
35598 | Are n''t you old?" |
35598 | Are you all Galahads or all Percivals? |
35598 | Arms, did you say? |
35598 | But are you going to Caerleon? |
35598 | But, if not, all is well?" |
35598 | Ca n''t you see by this lad''s broad fair forehead and fine hands that he is nobly born? |
35598 | Do n''t you hate him? |
35598 | Do n''t you see, dear love, how this strange mood of yours must make me feel it more than ever? |
35598 | Do n''t you want to go home? |
35598 | Do you see how weak I seem, leaning on these men? |
35598 | Fast? |
35598 | For why should you anyway care to go in again yourself, when you''ve already won the nine diamonds for the queen?" |
35598 | How can you keep me tethered here, Mother? |
35598 | How could I dare to obey him and let him be harmed? |
35598 | I do n''t suppose that you know the old rhyme,''Trust not at all or all in all?''" |
35598 | Is n''t that simple? |
35598 | Is n''t your lord lucky, for were I dead who is there in all the world who would mourn for me? |
35598 | Leodogran rejoined,"but when did you see Arthur first?" |
35598 | Only one? |
35598 | Or was it a man who hurt you so?" |
35598 | Shall I lead you to the king?" |
35598 | Shall I stop to fight them as we go by and send them back to you?" |
35598 | She said that?" |
35598 | So she waited until the prince approached when she said with a timid firmness,"Have I your leave to speak?" |
35598 | So tell me now, what will you have?" |
35598 | Then Merlin locked her hand in his and said,"Vivien, have you never seen a wave as it was coming up the beach ready to break? |
35598 | To the right? |
35598 | Was Bedivere right, he thought to himself, or were the barons right? |
35598 | What do I care about it? |
35598 | What do you say, Enid, shall we strip the earl and pay for a dinner or shall we fast? |
35598 | What do you wish with me?" |
35598 | What is it?" |
35598 | Where''s the rider? |
35598 | Who first saw the vision of the Holy Grail to- day?" |
35598 | Who has a right to be king if not the man who has done that? |
35598 | Why is there such a din?" |
35598 | Why should I follow the deer when I can follow the king? |
35598 | Why was I born a man if I can not do a man''s work?" |
35598 | Why wo n''t you ask me for another boon?" |
35598 | Will you fight for me and win me the crown, Pelleas, so that I may love you?" |
35598 | Will you wear a token of me at the tournament today?" |
35598 | You did n''t see farther than the cloud, and what can you expect to see now if you go out into the wilderness?'' |

35598 | forward? |
35598 | he bellowed,"the king that keeps us all with such strict vows that we ca n''t have any pleasures, a milky- hearted king? |
35598 | he cried,"and will you love me if I win?" |
35598 | one of them asked,"Is n''t it Lancelot?" |
35598 | said Vivien, smiling saucily,"have you found your tongue at last? |
35598 | she cried,"how is it with my lord Sir Lancelot?" |
35598 | straight on? |
35598 | to the left? |
35598 | which is it? |
