Answer: Sir Bedivere being contemplative.

This excerpt's imagery is intented to tell the reader that Sir Bedivere was in a state of contemplation. We can see that by the use of phrases such as:

  • Counting the dewy pebbles: He is doing some monotonous activity that requires little mental effort. He is likely thinking of something else meanwhile.
  • Fixed in thought: Concentrating on some specific thought that is of great importance to him.
