There was a little tone of weariness in her voice as, seating herself at the table by the open window, Valmai drew the candle nearer and continued to read. Outside in the dusky twilight Cardo was gazing his fill at the face which had haunted him ever since he had seen it on the road from Caer Madoc. Yes, it was a beautiful face! even more lovely than he imagined it to be in the dim evening light.
Early in the New Year, when the bare, brown hills had thrown off their mantle of snow, and the blue waters of the bay were glinting in the sunshine, and the starry, golden celandines looked up fearlessly from every bank and hedge, a heavily-laden carriage, drawn by a pair of strong horses, rolled along the dry, hard road from Caer Madoc towards Abersethin.
"Oh! the chickenpox! take caer! letters, notes, every thing may convey the infection," cried Mrs. Beaumont, snatching the paper. "How could dearest Miss Walsingham be so giddy as to answer my note, after what I said in my postscript! How did this note come?" "By the little postboy, mamma; I met him at the porter's lodge." "But what is all this strange thing?" said Mrs.
Perhaps to-morrow my uncle might say, 'Where is Valmai? She has never brought me my book. Here it is, though," she continued, "safe under the crumbs of the gingerbread. I bought it in the Mwntroyd. 'Tis a funny name whatever." "Yes, a relic of the old Flemings, who settled in Caer Madoc long ago." "Oh! I would like to hear about that! Will you tell me about it some time again?"
In process of time, perhaps in the reign of the Emperor Severus that is to say, about the beginning of the third century A.D. the name was changed to Eboracum: from this was derived the later British name Caer Eabhroig or Ebrauc. The Anglo-Saxon name was Eoferwic, corrupted by the Danes into Jorvik or Yorvik, which by an easy change was developed into the modern name of York.
The sons of Liethali obtained the country of the dimetae, where is a city called Menavia, and the province Guiher and Cetgueli, which they held till they were expelled from every part of Britain, by Cunedda and his sons. V.R. Damhoctor, Clamhoctor, and Elamhoctor. V.R. Liethan, Bethan, Vethan. St. David's. Guiher, probably the Welsh district Gower. Cetgueli is Caer Kidwelly, in Carmarthenshire.
"Yes, indeed, you have, whatever, because I am not used to be out in the night. The rabbits have frightened me too, they are looking so large in this light." "I am sorry. It is very brave of you to walk all the way from Caer Madoc alone." "To Abersethin it is not so far," said the girl. "Do you live at Abersethin?" "Yes, not far off; round the edge of the cliffs, under Moel Hiraethog." "Oh!
"Lord," said Gwydion unto Math, "would it not be right for us to release the hostages of the men of the South, which they pledged unto us for peace? for we ought not to put them in prison." "Let them then be set free," saith Math. So that youth, and the other hostages that were with him, were set free to follow the men of the South. Math himself went forward to Caer Dathyl.
Arrival at Chepstow Stirring Lyric Conclusion. I PASSED through Caer Went, once an important Roman station, and for a long time after the departure of the Romans a celebrated British city, now a poor desolate place consisting of a few old- fashioned houses and a strange-looking dilapidated church.
Close to it on the south- west is a very high headland called in Welsh Pen Caer Gybi, or the head of Cybi's city, and in English Holy Head. On the north, across the bay, is another mountain of equal altitude, which if I am not mistaken bears in Welsh the name of Mynydd Llanfair, or Saint Mary's Mount.
