On the third day at the castle, the lady of the castle came to my room once again in the mornig and gave me another kiss. She still would let up with words of love, "By this one day we may love, surely it may be so? Then all my life-days I may remember that Gawain held me in his arms" (94). I still refused, but settled with her giving me a magical green lace from her girdle. "It is but a little thing, and you may wear it hidden. Take it, I pray you, for it is a magic lace and while a man wears it he may not be slain, not even by all the magic upon earth. But I charge you to hide it, and tell not my lord" (95). She then kissed me for a third time and left. Later the king came with a fox skin for me and I gave him the three kisses, but not the lace.
