 Gameboy
Guenevere is Luke's oldest sister, and for the first time this October she was permitted to come with her dad and I to visit children at the hospital and hand out toys from the Annual New Toy Drive.
So it struck Guenevere that a child who spent many hours in a clinic receiving chemotherapy, or days in a hospital room, had no Gameboy to pass the time.
So, Guenevere came up with an idea --- kids who are done with their older version Gameboys and game cartridges could donate them to LNF, and we could get them to the kids at hospitals that don't own a Gameboy.

I find Guenevere to be even less likeable than how she is portrayed in 'The Mists of Avalon', and that's hard to do.

 The Medievalism and Modernity of "The Defence of Guenevere" by William Morris
However, by referring to other episodes such as Guenevere's imprisonment by Sir Mellyagraunce and the death of Gawain's mother, Morris clearly situates the poem within Malory's world of medieval chivalry.
This additional speaker provides an external and seemingly objective perspective on the monologue, describing Guenevere's appearance as she begins to speak and conjecturing as to her state of mind.
Morris alters his source material at least once during the poem, when Guenevere mentions Agravaine's killing of his and Gawain's mutual mother: "her head sever'd in that awful drouth / Of pity that drew Agravaine's fell blow." Malory states that another of Gawaine's brothers, Gaheris, committed this murder, not Agravaine himself.
