The bit about Lancelot's seat is a swipe from T.H. White, who discusses
individuality in horsemanship in the context of jousting and tournament
melees. White says when Lancelot was in a joust in disguise he'd purposely
ride poorly, showing sun at his seat, until just before impact when he'd bear
down properly; and the audience - and, most likely, the unfortunate opponent
- would go, "Ah, Lancelot!" at the last moment. One of my earliest memories
is of my father or someone from his family saying of Jack Benny's violin
playing, "You have to be good to be that bad."
Speaking of White, I don't think I'm running through Malory's adventures for
Lancelot quickly enough to get through them all in the time I've alotted. I
may be obliged to confine myself to only the highlights White used. Well,
those are the ones I know best anyway, but that's not what I meant to do.
Still it's also true that the Lionel-Morgan-Bagdemagus-Turquine sequence is
the most convoluted of the lot; the rest may go quicker.
