Ty Glas was built against one of the lower rocks of Moel Gest, which, indeed, formed a side to the low, lengthy house. The materials of the cottage were the shingly stones which had fallen from above, plastered rudely together, with deep recesses for the small oblong windows. Altogether, the exterior was much ruder than Owen had expected; but inside there seemed no lack of comforts.
On our left was the Vale of Llanberis, and on our other side a broad hollow, or valley of Snowdon, beyond which were two huge hills forming part of the body of the grand mountain, the lowermost of which our guide told me was called Moel Elia, and the uppermost Moel y Cynghorion.
"In which direction does it lie?" said I. "Towards Moel Vamagh, your honour," said the beggar, "which is a few miles beyond it; you can't see it from here, but look towards Moel Vamagh and you will see over it." "Thank you," said I, and gave something to the beggar, who departed, after first taking off his hat. Long and fixedly did I gaze in the direction of Mold.
At all events, the rooms are in readiness, and if any one comes, I shall be sure to hear them." "Has your brother returned?" "Not yet." "Didn't he say he would be back to-night?" "No, mother. Joel went to take a traveler to Lake Tinn, and as he didn't start until very late, I do not think he can get back to Dal before to-morrow." "Then he will spend the night at Moel, probably."
The landlord of the inn and his sons, who had been mainly responsible for building the great bonfire on Moel Dun, and the farmers in their gigs who stopped at the inn door, began to shake their heads over the prospects of the night. Helena, Lucy Friend, and Geoffrey spent the afternoon chiefly in fishing and wandering by the river.
BETH GELERT is situated in a valley surrounded by huge hills, the most remarkable of which are Moel Hebog and Cerrig Llan; the former fences it on the south, and the latter, which is quite black and nearly perpendicular, on the east. A small stream rushes through the valley, and sallies forth by a pass at its south-eastern end.
Near the base of Moel Gest it might be a quarter of a mile from Ty Glas was a little neglected solitary copse, wild and tangled with the trailing branches of the dog-rose and the tendrils of the white bryony.
"No; to-morrow morning, and he must not leave Moel until he sees me. We will return to Dal together." "Very well, Dame Hansen." "Won't you take a drop of brandevin?" "With pleasure." The boy approached the table, and Dame Hansen handed him a glass of the beverage which is such a powerful protection against the evening fogs. It is needless to say that he drained the glass, then,
One day all three of them went up the valley of Vesfjorddal half-way to the falls of the Rjukan. The next day they went to Moel and Lake Tinn. Once they were even absent twenty-four hours. This time they prolonged their excursion to Bamble, where the professor made the acquaintance of Farmer Helmboe and his daughter Siegfrid.
"You are not tired, my good Joel?" inquired the professor, as he alighted from the kariol. "No, Monsieur Sylvius. You forget that I am accustomed to long tramps through the Telemark." "That is true. Tell me, do you know the most direct route from Moel to Christiania?" "Perfectly, sir.
