Then we pray you, said La Beale Isoud and Sir Tristram, that when ye have received your letters, that ye would come by us that we may see the privity of your letters.

All that I may do, madam, ye wot well I must do for Sir Tristram, for I have been long his own maiden.
So on the morn the damosel went to King Mark to have had his letters and to depart.

I am not avised, said King Mark, as at this time to send my letters.

Then privily and secretly he sent letters unto King Arthur, and unto Queen Guenever, and unto Sir Launcelot.

So the varlet departed, and found the king and the queen in Wales, at Carlion.
