Indeed, Mishteer, there's proud you must be of him!" And all this was incense to Ebben Owens's heart. In the first term of his college life Will fully realised his pleasantest anticipations, and now, if never before, he acknowledged to himself his deep indebtedness to Gwilym Morris; his own abilities he had never doubted.
"You may get to the very top of the ladder, and then find it has not been leaning against the right wall. That would be a poor success, Will." "Well, well!" he said, as they entered the farmyard, "what's the matter with you to-night? You wait a few years, give me only a chance, and you'll be proud of your old pupil." When they had separated, Gwilym looked after him thoughtfully.
Had I treated Ab Gwilym in this manner? Even when translating his Ode to the Mist, in which he is misty enough, had I attempted to make Ab Gwilym less misty? No; on referring to my translation, I found that Ab Gwilym in my hands was quite as misty as in his own.
"Well, well," said the farmers, "Garthowen will have to do without Gethin Owens, that's plain; the roving spirit is in him still, and Ebben Owens will have to look alive, with only Ann and Gwilym Morris to help him."

"No," said he, "this is the Twrch; the bridge is called Pont y Twrch."
The boy was educated by his mother's brother Llewelyn ab Gwilym Fychan, a chief of Cardiganshire; but his principal patron in after life was Ifor, a cousin of his father, surnamed Hael, or the bountiful, a chieftain of Glamorganshire. This person received him within his house, made him his steward and tutor to his daughter.
I was studying Welsh, and I fell in with Ab Gwilym by no very strange chance.
"'I am very glad to hear how well you get on with your books, he said; 'but 'tisn't every young man has Gwilym Morris to help him and to teach him. And then, you see, when he made a beginning, 'twas easier for me to explain." The preacher's pale face lighted up with a smile of pleasure, and Ann flushed with gratified pride as Will continued.
