Not blight nor disease nor frost can ruin their sellings. And every minute their fingers grabble in the purses of nobles. So Madlen thought, and having acted in accordance with her design, she took her son to the other side of Avon Bern, that is to Capel Mount Moriah, over which Essec her husband's brother lorded; and him she addressed decorously, as one does address a ruler of the capel.
"A few of my proverbs I will now spout." He spat his spittle and bundling his beard blew the residue of his nose therein; and he chanted: "Remember Essec Pugh, whose right foot is tied into a club knot. Here's the club to kick sinners as my perished brother tried to kick the Bad Satan from the inside of his female Madlen with his club of his baston. Some preachers search over the Word.
Valmai turned a shade paler; she knew the disgrace this excommunication implied; but she only turned with a sigh towards the house, Shoni marching before her with the air of a man who felt he had performed a disagreeable duty. Essec Powell had stopped to dine with a farmer living near the chapel, and did not return home until near tea-time.
Wynne had knocked at the door and had been confronted by Essec Powell himself, who presented such an extraordinary appearance that she had some difficulty in composing her face to a proper degree of gravity.
Take off your things, may dear. Are you up for nursing an old man till he's well again?" "Indeed, I'll do my best, whatever," said Valmai, taking off her hat and cloak. "Uncle Essec said I was to stay until you were quite well." "That's raight. Ay knew you'd come, my gel, though that old devil wanted me to think that perhaps you wouldn't.
Mean scamps, remember Essec Pugh, for I shall remember you the Day of Rising." It came to be that on a morning in the last month of his thirteenth year Joseph was bidden to stand at the side of the cow which Madlen was milking and to give an ear to these commandments: "The serpent is in the bottom of the glass. The hand on the tavern window is the hand of Satan.
Why, Ellis, they convene public meetings on purpose to pray for each other, and I believe if my father knew that I loved Essec Powell's niece he would break his heart. Therefore, I cannot tell him it is impossible; but it is equally impossible for me, as long as I have any being, to cease to love Valmai. Now, there! what way do you see out of that maze?"
"What's Dinas thinking of?" said Ebben, drying his heated face; "not begun to mow yet?" "Begin to-morrow," answered Dye. "Essec Powell forgot it was hay harvest, until Valmai pulled him out by the coat, and made him look over the gate." "Hast seen the picture," said Ebben, "Mr. Ellis has made of her and Corwen? Splendid!" "No," said Dye; "has he? What will the Vicare say?
"Pounds without number he is earning," she cried. "Rich he'll be. Swells are youths shop." "Gifts from the tip of my tongue fell on him," said Essec. "Religious were my gifts." "Iss, indeed, the brother of the male husband." "Now you can afford nine of pounds for the place. Rich he is and richer he will be. Pounds without number he has."
Madlen flattered her counselors, though none spoke that which was pleasing unto her. "Cobblar clox, ach y fy," she cried to herself. "Wan is the lad bach with decline. And unbecoming to his Nuncle Essec that he follows low tasks." Moreover, people, look you at John Lewis.
