Torre
Devil! She knows,
And it will kill her.
Sir Bernard
Child! Elaine! Look up.
Launcelot
Sir Bernard, I have hurt her but to heal.
Pardon me for this sorrow I have made.
Torre
Did I not say that we should rue this man?
She has seen to his black heart, and it will kill her.
Sir Bernard
Peace, Torre! (To Launcelot) I doubt not you have used all kindness.
We’ll pray that Time amend this in his fashion.
Sir Launcelot, God be with you.
Launcelot
And with you
Would heaven that I could have requited her.
Lavaine
I must go, father, with Sir Launcelot.
Sheunderstands well how it is with me.
Father, your blessing (kneels).
Sir Bernard
Have your will, my son.
Seeing what has befallen, maybe it is best.
Go, and be worthy of the house that bred you.
Launcelot
Come then, Lavaine. I do but rankle here.
Lavaine
Sister, farewell.
Launcelot
Peace come to you, Elaine.
Kind host, again farewell. In the white fire
Of her young heart be grief consumed away.
