Therefore, as all civilisation proceeds westward, Jasper turned his face from the east; and had no more idea of recrossing Temple Bar in search of fortune, friends, or kindred, than a modern Welshman would dream of a pilgrimage to Asian shores to re-embrace those distant relatives whom Hu Gadarn left behind him countless centuries ago, when that mythical chief conducted his faithfid Cymrians over the Hazy Sea to this happy island of Honey.
When, however, he reached the dell and entered his dwelling, he found that the bird had flown! Every nook and cranny of the place was carefully searched; but, to the consternation of the Hebrew, and the wrath of Gadarn and his men, not a vestige of Branwen was to be found.
She went in to see my mother one day and threw her into convulsions, from which, I think, she has hardly recovered yet. Then she went to my father's room the chief Gadarn and I were with him at the time and almost before she had time to speak they went into fits of laughter at her till the tears ran down their cheeks.
"Ay, the same quest undoubtedly," observed the Hebrew in a grumbling, abstracted manner. "If it were possible," returned Gadarn, sternly, "to give up the search for your boy and confine it entirely to my girl, I would do so. But as they went astray about the same place, we are compelled, however little we like it, to hunt together."
He will be among friends at the camp but but I know not how Gadarn may take it." "Take what?" demanded the prince in surprise. "Take take my failure to find his daughter." "Ha! to be sure; he may be ill-pleased at that.
"The truth is, Gadarn, that I am very anxious to know what news you have of Cormac for the fate of that poor boy hangs heavy on my mind. Indeed, I should have refused to quit the Swamp, in spite of the king's commands and my mother's entreaties, if you had not sent that message by the Hebrew."
Fain to be content with this in the meantime, Bladud hurried to the apartment of his sister. "Hafrydda!" he exclaimed, "has Gadarn gone out of his mind?" "I believe not," she replied, sitting down beside her brother and taking his hand. "Why do you ask?" "Because he talks I say it with all respect like an idiot."
"Nothing more, except that Gadarn intends to make an early start to-morrow morning." "It is well. We, also, will make an early an even earlier start to-morrow morning. To your food, now, my men, and then to rest!"
The exasperated man leaped up intending to kick the doctor out, but, changing his mind, he kicked the horrified servitor out instead, and, taking the doctor into his confidence, related to him an anecdote which had just been told to him by Bladud. "It will be the death of the king," said Gadarn. "You had better go to him. He may need your services."
"No success," remarked Gadarn sternly, unbuckling his sword and flinging it violently on the ground. "Not yet, but we may have better fortune tomorrow," said Beniah. "Don't you think the small footprints we saw near the Springs were those of the boy?" "They may have been." "And those that we saw further on, but lost sight of in the rocky ground did they not look like those of a girl?"
