Gethin coloured with embarrassment, while he pretended to arrange a sheltered seat for Sara, who came bravely to his assistance. "And how could he know, captain, that you were the friend of his father?" she said in Welsh, for she had gathered the sense of the English talk between the two sailors. "Well! that's true indeed," said the captain, scratching his head; "we were both in the dark.
"Go hang yourself, or jump off Gethin rock into the sea?" "I will get you the money that you speak of the two thousand pounds. You shall have it in your hand, and keep it for that matter, if you please." "What?" Unutterable astonishment stared out from the landlord's face. For the first time since the receipt of Carew's letter he began to discredit its contents.
"I was very happy there indeed, when I whistled at my plough, with the song of the larks in my ears, and the smell of the furze filling the air. But now no no! I must never turn my face there again." "Wilt not, indeed?" asked Sara. "Wait till I've told thee all, my lad. And now I have a strange story to tell thee, 'tis of thy poor old father, Gethin." "My father? what's the matter with him?
I said to myself: 'When I see my boy Gethin at home again, then will I believe that God has forgiven me. Now I will be happy though I'm turned out of the Sciet. God will not turn me out of heaven, now that Gethin my son has forgiven me. Hast heard all my bad ways, lad?" "Yes," said Gethin, "and I will confess, father, it nearly broke my heart.
"There's going to be fun there, they say, for Jacob the miller is going to ask Neddy 'Pandy' to dance the 'candle dance, and Robin Davies the sailor will play the fiddle for him. Hast ever seen the candle dance?" "No," said Gethin, his black eyes fixed on the girl's beautiful face, which filled his mind to the exclusion of what she was saying.
"Well, caton pawb!" said Gethin, "manners or no manners, man, I never could sit still and see a woman, foreign or Welsh, carry a heavy load without helping her." The two girls spread the refreshing viands on the grass, and with merry repartee answered the jokes of the hungry reapers. "'Twill be a jolly supper to-night, Miss Ann; we'll expect the 'fatted calf," said one.
It is impossible, unfortunately, to return here and see you rot; there would be danger in it; just the least risk in the world of somebody coming here to look for us. I must be off now, too, for there is a worthy man sitting up for me at the inn, and I have got to take this ladder back to Gethin." A cry of mingled rage and despair burst forth from Richard's foe.
"Well," said Ebben Owens, ousting Tudor unceremoniously from his seat, and speaking in an agitated and tremulous voice, "one thing has been made plain, whatever, and that is that poor Gethin had nothing to do with the money. You all see that, don't you?" "Well I suppose he hadn't," said Will; "but why then did he go away so suddenly?
I haven't said 'thank you, but I do thank thee indeed, Gethin;" and he followed her into the "hall," where the glowing light from the fire and the candle fell on the changing glitter of the shells. "Oh, there's beautiful!" said Ann. "Come near, Morva, and let me look at them. Well, indeed, they are fit for a lady." "Thee must have paid a lot for that," said Ebben Owens, rather reproachfully.
"He said, 'twas right I should feel like that, for they had all been kind to me, ever since the sea cast me up here, a little helpless baby; and he said 'twould ill repay their kindness to break his heart." Gethin snatched at her hand hungrily. "Will I tell thee, lass, what I would have answered if I had been Will?
