Balais, significantly, for he was anxious that the jury should catch that answer "'With father and me and Solomon. And who introduced him into the parlor?" "Father brought him first, Sir, on the second day after he came to Gethin." "Father brought him in, did he? Now, that is rather an unusual thing for the landlord of an inn to do, is it not?
"Morva!" he called, and she turned at once and stood facing him in the light of the full moon. She bent her head a little and let her arms fall at her sides, standing like a culprit before his accuser. The attitude pained Gethin, whose whole being was overflowing with tenderness. "Morva, lass! what is the matter? Where art going? Art running away from me?"
"Well, mother, can you gather some comfort from your vision? Oh! tell me the meaning of it all. What did Gethin want in Gwilym's room?" "Gethin?" said Sara, in astonishment, "in Gwilym Morris's room!" "Yes, I saw him; and from there a bag of sovereigns has been stolen.
Indeed, with the exception of Harry, nobody at Gethin save, perhaps, Hannah, when she dusted her young mistress's room had ever set eyes upon it, nor, if they had, would they have understood its meaning.
"He is quite well," said Morva. "As industrious and good as ever? Dei anwl! there's a difference there was between me and him! You wouldn't think we were children of the same mother. Well, you can't alter your nature, and I'm afraid 'tis a bad lot Gethin Owens will be to the end!" And he laughed aloud, his black eyes sparkling, and the rings in his ears shining out in the gloom of the cottage.
"And a woman too, 'machgen i," said Sara, laying her soft hand upon his, "'twas a bitter time for Morva too." "I didn't know that," said Gethin, "or 'twould have been worse to bear. Well, when I went to bed that night, there was no sleep for me, no more sleep than if I was steering a ship through a stormy sea.
"He's seen before great storms, however," said Trevethick; "you ask the coast-guard men, and hear what they say. There's many a craft has put out to her from Gethin, and come quite close, so that a man might almost reach her with a boat-hook, and then, all of a sudden, there is nothing to be seen but the big waves."
"Oh, there's glad I am!" said the girl; and Gethin put in a word of congratulation as he sauntered out to take a last look at the horses. Long before ten the whole household had retired for the night. Ann and Morva slept in a small room on the first landing, just beyond which, up two steps, ran a long passage, into which the other bedrooms opened.
Gethin hated his books too, and, worse than all, he paid but scant regard to the services in the chapel, which held such an important place in the estimation of the rest of the household.
In the evening, when the sun had set and given place to a soft round moon, he was not at all astonished to find that Gethin was missing: nor was he surprised, as he stood at the farm door, to see him rounding the Cribserth and disappear on the moonlit moor.
