This is my 3rd day at the castle. This morning the king went out and to hunt foxes. I payed in bed and dreamed of a terrible meeting with the green knight, so close before me. Again the lady came into my room, awakened me from my sleep and claimed a kiss. She was more fairer then the sunshine itself that morning. She wanted me to be hers and to love her but I could not because she has a lord and me being a noble knight it would be shameful. She asked for something to remember me by but I have nothing to give her because I traveled without baggage on this dangerous quest. She then gave me this green lace from her girdle and asked me to wear it for her sake. It was a magic lace and she asked me not to tell her lord, the king. She gave me a third kiss and went away quickly after I told her I promise not to reveal the lace. That evening The Lord of the castle came home and bearing with him the skin of one fox. In the hall I met him merrily saying "I come with my winnings and I will be the first giver this night!" I kissed him solemnly 3 times. The king said I was a good merchant indeed for I have given him 3 kisses and he only returned with a foul fox skin to give me in return. I spoke not a word of the green lace.
