'What does it matter, my darling? You will be Mab Pendle soon, so that will settle everything, even your meek husband. 'George, said Miss Bosvile, solemnly, 'if there is one word in the English language which does not describe you, it is "meek." 'Really! and if there is one name in the same tongue which fits you like a glove, it is guess! 'Angel! cried Mab, promptly. George laughed.
Not much of this second tour can be shown to have been used in "Wild Wales," where he alludes to it in the ninety-third chapter, saying that he "long subsequently" found some of the wildest solitudes and most romantic scenery among the mountains about Tregaron; but the collier may have given him the suggestion for the encounter with Bosvile in the ninety-eighth chapter.
Are you one of the Ingrines?" "I am the chap what certain folks calls the Romany Rye." "Well, I'll be jiggered if I wasn't thinking so and if I wasn't penning so to my juwa as we were welling down the chong." "It is a long time since we last met, Captain Bosvile, for I suppose I may call you Captain now?"

'I don't mean that, cried Miss Whichello, laying a finger on her sister's certificate, 'but Jentham as Bosvile married Annie in 1869.

Mrs Pendle was never his wife.
'But at the time of such marriage Mrs Bosvile was still alive. Miss Whichello can vouch for this important fact! 'Ah! that I can, sighed the little old lady, shaking her head.
