How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph.)
Quote #1
"I am glad you are back," said Kay. (S.4.8)
Even though Wart and Kay fight like any typical pair of young brothers, Kay is honestly happy that Wart returns safely from his night out in the forest. See? Kay cares!
Quote #2
But inside himself [Sir Ector] was proud of the Wart for staying out after a hawk, and prouder still to see that he had got it. (S.4.10)
Ector is understandably proud that Wart wasn't afraid to stay out all night in the forest to keep an eye on the hawk. Kay, on the other hand, high-tailed it back to the castle.
Quote #3
He saw that his dear guardian was looking quite old and powerless, and that he was kneeling down with difficulty on a gouty knee. "Sir," said Sir Ector, without looking up, although he was speaking to his own boy. "Please do not do this, father," said the Wart, kneeling down also. "Let me help you up, Sir Ector, because you are making me unhappy." "Nay, nay, my lord," said Sir Ector, with some very feeble old tears. "I was never your father nor of your blood, but I wote well ye are of an higher blood than I wend ye were." "Plenty of people have told me you are not my father," said the Wart, "but it does not matter a bit." (S.23.65-69)
This is one of the most touching moments in the book, and gives a sense of the family ties between Wart and Ector (and Kay, for that matter). Wart really gets at the idea that blood isn't necessary to make a family. Even though he's now King, Wart can't stand to see his old father kneeling down in the dirt to him.
