"My journeys shall not cease, good father, until I have found the Grail. For so have I set my whole life that I may find it. And time counts not. Though I wish it could be found right soon for then may I turn my face to England." Since Sir Galahad had spoken of Yosalinde, the priest understood. "What then, Sir Knight, makes you think you will find the Grail in far lands?" the priest asked. "It must need be so, since were it nearer home it would have been found long since." To which the priest made no answer. Days later, when they were gathered about again he told the story of Elam, the son of Anner, who had a great desire to gain wisdom and knowledge. "So then, young friends, he started out to learn from all the founts of wisdom. Far he traveled and much he learned." And then the reverend man gave long account of the places to which Elam had gone and the things he had learned. It was a tale of many years and it took time in the telling. "Then when he had learned much of the wisdom of the then world and had gained in knowledge, he returned home. And when he was there but a few days, lo, he found that yet had his father Anner, greater knowledge than he and wisdom more profound. And he knew this now, returned home from all his sojournings. Nor would he have known this unless he had traveled far, for my sons, it was in this way that he gained the vision to see. Of a truth, it was then that he knew that his father was wisest of men and well could he learn from him." "I have not heard of this man Elam, before," Sir Galahad said. "Yet had he great need to travel, if he gained this vision to see." "True and well spoken, Sir Knight," replied the priest and watched him keenly. CHAPTER THIRTY Homeward Still further did Sir Galahad have a mind to travel but he found from learned men that to go further East was to travel into uncertainties which few had ventured before him. Nor would he have paused even then, were it not that he realized well that little likelihood was there for the Lost Grail to be found in the far East. So he turned his face west again. Slowly he made his way home. There were days now, he misdoubted the success of his search and he questioned his own worthiness. After months and months of travel he reached France once again. When he came to Gascony he found the rightful ruler on the throne and the house of Sanscourt, well and happy. Great was the welcome given the knight by the happy family and a great feast was held for them. The Lady Jeanne was radiant with the happiness which had returned after seeming desertion. "We owe you much, Sir Galahad," said Sir Vilard, "so very much that it is beyond repayment." "Mine and Sir Launcelot's was the joy of service, my lord. That you must well understand."
