Even in this country there are twenty great effects which, though they have, of course, suffered record, are still secure from general praise; for instance, that awful trench which opens under your feet, as it were, up north and beyond Plynlimmon.
"Dear me!" thought I to myself as I walked away; "that I should once in my days have found shepherd life something as poets have represented it!" I saw a mighty mountain at a considerable distance on the right, the same I believe which I had noted some hours before. I inquired of my guide whether it was Plynlimmon. "Oh no!" said he, "that is Gaverse; Pumlimmon is to the left."
THE morning of the fifth of November looked rather threatening. As, however, it did not rain, I determined to set off for Plynlimmon, and, returning at night to the inn, resume my journey to the south on the following day. On looking into a pocket almanac I found it was Sunday. This very much disconcerted me, and I thought at first of giving up my expedition.
Theodolite Gulch, The Dip, Canon County, Colorado. Dear Sir: We beg to inform you that the scene of the opening chapter of the Fortunes of Barbara Plynlimmon is laid in Wales. The scene is laid, however, very carelessly and hurriedly and we expect that it will shortly be removed. We cannot, therefore, recommend it to your perusal.
About twenty minutes' walk from hence brought me to Castell Dyffryn, an inn about six miles distant from the Devil's Bridge, and situated near a spur of the Plynlimmon range. Here I engaged a man to show me the sources of the rivers and the other wonders of the mountain.
"I wish there was some rich gentleman at present living on Plynlimmon," said my guide; "one of that sort is much wanted."
Plynlimmon and Lady Edser, Mrs. Warrington Wilcox and her daughter, and lastly, the little girl, very smart and quiet, who figures at so many weddings, and who kept a watchful eye on Margaret, the bride-elect, Dolly was absent a domestic event detained her at Hilton; Paul had cabled a humorous message; Charles was to meet them with a trio of motors at Shrewsbury.
"Dear me," said I, "am I near Plynlimmon?" "Not very far from it," said the young man, "and you will be nearer when you reach Pont Erwyd." "Are you a native of these parts?" said I. "I am not," he replied; "I am a native of Aberystwyth, a place on the sea-coast about a dozen miles from here." "This seems to be a cold, bleak spot," said I; "is it healthy?"
"Those two hills which we have just passed make up the five. However, I will tell your worship that there is a sixth summit. Don't you see that small hill connected with the big Pumlummon, on the right?" "I see it very clearly," said I. "Well, your worship, that's called Bryn y Llo the Hill of the Calf, or the Calf Plynlimmon, which makes the sixth summit."
The scene with the old lawyer who breaks into tears on receiving the fortune, swearing to hold and cherish it as his own is very touching. Meantime, as the Viscount is hunting for a job, we enclose a list of advertisements under the heading Help Wanted Males. You will be very gratified to learn that the fortunes of Miss Barbara Plynlimmon have come to a most pleasing termination.
