"Oh, dei anwl, yes; there's no song ever reaches my ears but I must join in it. Come, sing on." And Morva sang again, Gethin's rich tones blending with hers in full harmony. This time she was awake, and realised the sorrow of the words. "Well, no," said Gethin, "'tis not a very merry thing, indeed, to set your heart upon winning a maiden, and to lose her as that poor fellow did.
"Yes," said Gethin; "I bought it in Liverpool in a shop where they sell Welsh books. And for you, sir," he said, turning to Gwilym Morris. "'Sir," said the preacher, laughing; "Gethin bâch, this is the second time you have called me 'sir. Drop it, man, or I will be offended." "Well! I won't say it again. Dei anwl!
"Yes, I think," the old man would answer, looking round him as if just awakening to the fact. "Yes, look at the mist now rolling away from Moel Hiraethog, and look at those rocks on Traeth y daran which looked so grey ten minutes ago; see them, all tipped with gold, and, oh, anwl, look at those blue shadows behind them, and the bay all blue and silver!"
Yes; certainly Will was a handsome man. "There's smart thou art," said Morva, with a mischievous smile. "'Tis my new suit; they are pretty well," said Will. "And what are those? Gloves again! oh, anwl! indeed, it is time thee and me should part," and rising from her stool she curtseyed low before him with a little sarcasm in her looks and voice. "Part, Morva never!" said Will. "Remember tonight."
"Oh, anwl, they are like naughty children," she said, sitting down, exhausted with laughter and running, Gethin flinging himself beside her, and picking idly at the gorse blossoms which filled the air with their rich perfume.
"Do you think Essec Powell would write his sermon out like a clergyman and read it out like a book? No, indeed! Straight from the 'brist' that's how Essec Powell preaches!" "What time is the first meeting next day?" "Oh, early, Ser eight o'clock. Are you coming? Anwl! there's glad they'd be. You shall go on the platform with Price Merthyr and Jones Abertawe and all the rest."
When the strain came to a natural ending, he looked again with some interest at the grey figure ever moving on, and still seeming to keep at the same distance from him. Once more he quickened his steps, and again the figure did likewise. "Diwss anwl!" he said. "I am not going to run after an old woman who evidently does not want my company." And he tramped steadily on under the fast darkening sky.
"It was, it was," he answered, shuddering and covering his eyes with his hands, as though he saw it still. "'Twas a sight that shadowed the whole world to me, and has altered my life ever since. Dei anwl! 'twas a sight I would give my whole life not to have seen." "I know it all now, my boy, and I know what thou must have suffered. 'Twas thy father who took Gwilym Morris's money.
"Oh, anwl! what art talking about, Will?" she said at last. "Truth, Morva; I will be like that young man before long, and when I have a home ready I will send for thee; thou shalt come secretly to meet me in some large town where no one will know us. I will have a silken gown ready for thee, and we will be married, and thou shalt be a real lady."
"Well, indeed," said the old woman at last, "there's enough of my sorrows; let us get on to the happy time when your little life began, you and your twin sister. When you were washed and dressed and laid sleeping together in the same cradle, no one could tell which was which; but dir anwl! who cared for that? too much joy was in our hearts that your dear mother was safe.
