Early in the morning, the knight started again on his journey, hoping to cover a long distance, but the way through the forest was very difficult so that, when evening fell, he found himself only on the edge of the Yorkshire forests.
By this time the man and the horse were very tired. It was necessary to find a place to spend the night but looking around the knight saw only deep woods with a few open glades and paths.
The sun, by which the knight directed his course, had now sunk, and he did not know which path to follow. At last he decided to let his horse follow his own instinct and find the right way. The tired horse at once seemed to become more lively and took a path which turned off from the former course. Soon the path grew a little wider and the sound of a small bell gave the knight to understand that he was near a chapel. At last he reached an open glade and saw a small hut. At a little distance on the right hand there was a fountain of the purist water. Beside the fountain were the ruins of a very small chapel. A green bell hung at the entrance of the chapel. It was the sound of this bell that the knight had heard some time before. He sprang from his horse, approached the hut and knocked at the door.
