I am getting old and not fit to manage the farm. I wouldn't care much if I sold everything and went to live in a cottage." "'Twt, twt," said Morva, "you will never leave old Garthowen, and 'twill be long before Roberts the drover takes Daisy away. Go and see mother, 'n'wncwl Ebben; she is full of good news for you. She says there is brightness coming for you, and indeed, indeed she knows."

"'As the sparks fly upward!" she whispered, as she reached the cottage door, "Yes, mother was right, 'as the sparks fly upward!" "Ach y fi!" said Ann one day as the autumn slipped by, "only a week before Will goes; there's dull it will be without him!" "Twt, twt!" said Will, tossing his tawny mane, "'twill only be for three months.

'Tisn't Gethin Owens is going to turn against his brother, because he has been a fortunate man, while I have been unfortunate. Yes, I wish him joy, and sweet Morva every blessing under the sun." "Twt, twt!" said Sara, "thee art all wrong, my boy.

In Treneglwys there is a certain shepherd's cot known by the name of Twt y Cymrws because of the strange strife that occurred there.

"Twt, twt," said Will, "let us not think of the future, lass the present is enough for me; and I promise thee not to allude to our marriage if thou wilt only meet me like this whenever I come home, and let me feel thee close to my heart as thou hast to-night." "But I will not," said the girl suddenly, withdrawing herself from the arm which he had passed round her waist. "Why not?" he asked.

"Twt, twt," said Shoni, interrupting, "you wass no need to ask Essec Powell. The gentleman is kom to-morrow to make a picksher on Corwen and me."

"Thou art more apt to count the clear dawns, while I count the grey ones." "Twt, twt, you must leave off counting the grey ones.

"Twt, nonsense," said Will irritably; but he nevertheless allowed her to leave him, with a wave of her hand, and an amused twinkle in her eye.

"Well, indeed," said Valmai, looking thoughtfully into the glowing embers, "I should like to see my sister, whatever." "Twt, twt," said the old woman, "there's no need for you to trouble your head about her; she has never troubled to seek you." "Does she know about me, do you think?" "That I can't tell, of course," said Nance, going to the door to have another look at the storm.

"No, no," said Ann, "Magw will take care of him at home." Gwilym helped the old man to change his coat. "Where are his gloves, Ann, and his best hat? There's grand he'll be!" But there was no answering smile on his father-in-law's face. "Twt, twt," he said, "there is no need of gloves for me, and I won't wear my best hat, give me my old one."
