'sported for fourteen years, and I 'ont be living to see him come back again. Anwyl! anywyl! Here tears came, and Mrs Jenkins sank upon a chair, and covered her face with her hands. Rowland let them flow for a time, and then putting his hand kindly on her shoulder said, 'Aunt 'Lizbeth! you must try to keep up for Howel's sake. He will like you to visit him now, perhaps,
But whilst the gossips and who is not a gossip in a country neighbourhood? whilst the gossips were settling Howel's future so comfortably and respectably for him, he was dispensing his gold amongst gamblers and the like paying debts of honour as they are called.
"On her arrival in London, only a few days since, she had called on me at the time when I had left home on the business which I have already mentioned. She had not heard of Lady Howel's death, and had written ignorantly to prepare that good friend for seeing her.
But thank you for letting me stay with Netta. I have so longed and prayed to see her again, and it has been brought about for me. Mrs Prothero remained one clear day and two nights longer at Abertewey. As Netta was quite out of danger before that time had expired, she thought it right to go home, both on Howel's account and her own husband's, whose anger she would have to allay.
After that evening, people sneered at home perhaps, but they called and invited and made much of the master and mistress of Plas Abertewey, forgetting or ignoring their origin. Netta, too, obeyed Howel's last injunction to the best of her ability.
'One can do that, I should say, without any cards at all, said Owen, showing his white teeth from amidst his big black beard. When the ladies had left the dinner-table, Owen began to gain some insight into the characters and pursuits of Howel's guests.
So have I seen my friends Captain Lang and Captain Comstock press their guests to partake of the fare on that memorable "First day out," when there is no man, I think, who sits down but asks a blessing on his voyage, and the good ship dips over the bar, and bounds away into the blue water. Montaigne and "Howel's Letters" are my bedside books.
'Whatever right your father may have, sir, to prevent my seeing your sister, at any rate you have none, was Howel's indignant reply. 'Then I shall take a brother's right, and in the absence of my father, assume his place. Netta, you know you are doing wrong; come with me. Netta hesitated, but her brother's manner was authoritative, and she felt that she dared not disobey.
As 'blessings brighten as they take their flight, so Howel's popularity reached its zenith just as he resigned Abertewey to Colonel Vaughan, and went, with his wife and child, abroad for a few months. As Freda foretold, bells rang, bonfires blazed, and cannons fired, when the respective owners of Glanyravon and Abertewey brought home their respective brides, which took place in due course.
It was terrible to hear the voices of honest men so close to me and to be helpless, and I worked at the rope feverishly. I heard the princess and her party leave the ship, and almost as the last footstep left the deck one strand of the cord went. I worked harder yet, with a great hope on me. "Presently the Norsemen will be full of Howel's mead," I heard Evan say to one of his men.
