How Gareth and Lynette Would Tell their Story to their Children
Gareth: (what he wants his kids to believe that happened, aka, Tennyson) But the damsel said, "I lead no longer; ride thou at my side; Thou art the kingliest of all kitchen-knaves…”
Meanwhile…
Lynette: (what really happened, aka, Malory) “Well, Damsel Lyonette,” said Sir Gareth, “I have not deserved all this cruelty that you are doing to me.”
“Sir knight,” she said, “I will fully own up to all I have done, and all that I have done will be for your greater glory, and that of all of us.” Then Sir Gareth’s wounds were staunched, but the healers said that no man alive could thoroughly heal him of his wounds unless they who caused the enchanted stroke were to do it.”
