Possibly this opinion may have been founded on the fact that, on one occasion, three big runaway Phoenician seamen, who thought they would prefer a life in the woods to a life on the ocean wave, had one evening been directed to Beniah's hut as a place where strangers were never refused hospitality when they asked it with civility.
Among other things, she told her of a rumour that was going about to the effect that an old witch had been seen occasionally in the neighbourhood of Beniah's residence, and that all the people in the town were more or less afraid of going near the place either by day or night on that account. Of course the girls had a hearty laugh over this. "Did they say what the witch was like?" asked Branwen.
"Your father lives very far from here," returned the Hebrew, with the lines of perplexity still resting on his brow. "That is true; but Beniah's legs are long and his body is strong. He can soon let my father know of his daughter's misfortune. You know that my father is a powerful chief, though his tribe is not so strong in numbers as the tribe of King Hudibras, or that that fiend Gunrig.
"No," answered the prince, gloomily, and with a slightly surprised look, for the expression of Beniah's countenance puzzled him. "Why do you ask?" "Because that bears somewhat on my mission. I have to deliver a message from your father, the king. He bids me say that you are to return home immediately."
"We can't be long of finding them now," remarked the chief to the principal huntsman, as they passed the entrance to Beniah's retreat. "It may be as well to run up and ask the old man who lives here if he has seen her," replied the huntsman. "He is a man with sharp eyes for his years." "As you will," said Gunrig sternly, for his wrath had not yet been appreciably toned down by exercise.
"By the way," continued Bladud, who had resumed the drumstick, "has that fellow Gadarn found his daughter Branwen?" Beniah choked on a bone, or something, at that moment, and, looking at the prince with the strangest expression of face, and tears in his eyes, explained that he had not at least not to his, Beniah's, absolutely certain knowledge.
