On his way to Honor's tent, Desire is glad to have found help so soon but sad that Amour has so many enemies, and that the Lady Sweet Grace is being held captive.

The tents, seen closer-to, with broad borders ornamented in red, green, and gold, finials and fluttering pennants glittering against a strip of blue sky, are resplendant with color, climaxing at the center in Honor's princely patterned red gown trimmed with fur. Honor wears two heron feathers pinned to his hat by a rich jewel. Here, in Amour's tenting ground, there are no shadows; all is light and joyous color.
