'Tis a tiresome clasp," and as she bent her shapely neck and his fingers touched it for a moment, she gently drew further away. "Dost like them?" said Gethin, looking from the shining shells to the glowing face above them. "Oh, they are beautiful!" she answered, feeling them with her fingers. "I will go in and show them to Ann.
Fancy Gethin Owens forgiving anyone! as if he was such a good man himself! especially his own father! I have nothing to forgive; he did me no harm, poor old man.
"Well, yes, of course," answered the girl, "and 'tis busy we'll be with only Ann and me and the men-servants, for Will never goes to the cynos; he doesn't like farm work, and now he's studying so hard and all 'twould be foolish for him to sit up all night." "I will be there, whatever," said Gethin. "Wilt indeed?" and a glow of pleasure suffused her face.
She had no name for the deep longing which rebelled in her heart against the fate that was closing her in; for she had as yet scarcely confessed to herself that her whole being turned towards Gethin as the flower to the sun, and that in her breast, so long calm and unruffled as the pools in the boggy moor, was growing as strong a repulsion for one brother as love for the other.
They were rough in externals, but kindly and genial at heart; given to hospitality, and, though good at a bargain, by no means greedy of gain. Above all there were no beggars. The poorest Gethin man would open a gate for you, or walk a hundred yards out of his way to show you your road, without asking for, or even expecting, a coin.
"Shame," she said, "in the eyes of men, is sometimes honour in the eyes of God! Listen, Gethin Dost remember the night of thy going from Garthowen?" He nodded with a serious look in his eyes. "That night I had a dream; only, I was awake when I saw it.
"Yes, indeed, I am very glad, whatever. Garthowen will be full again; it has been very empty lately." She was thinking of Gethin, unconsciously, perhaps, and hung her head a little guiltily when Will said: "Thou didst miss me, then?" "Of course we all missed thee thy father especially." "More than thee, Morva?" She sighed. "'Tis this way, Will. I am tired of this secrecy.
"That is impossible," said Mr. Weasel, with decision. "We can only play with such cards as we hold. I could go to Gethin myself, though it would be most inconvenient at this busy time, and refresh this young woman's memory; but it is a delicate task, and would be looked upon by the other side with some suspicion.
"Where can Gethin be?" said Ann again; "not back from the mountain?" and Magw was sent to the top of the garden to call him, which she did with such stentorian tones that his name flew backwards and forwards across the valley, but no Gethin came. Breakfast over, the big Bible was placed before Ebben Owens as usual, and all the farm servants assembled for prayers.
"'Gethin Owens, I do believe, she says, 'where have you been all this long time? Kitty Jones will be glad to see you, whatever. "I saw the foreign sailor she had been dancing with looking very black at me, and I began to laugh, and talk, and joke with Bella, just to plague him, and we danced and drank together, and I soon saw that the two years I had been away had not improved her.
