'He means that old Griffey Jenkins, the miser, is dead, and that Howel comes into all his immense wealth. Miss Gwynne gave her head such a magnificent toss that her neck looked quite strained. 'I do not imagine many young ladies will purchase tickets in that lottery, she said, with a stress upon the 'young ladies.
Then Nona blushed red, and I made haste to get rid of some of the thanks that were heartfelt enough if they came unreadily to my lips, and Howel laughed at both of us. I think that the princess found her way out of the little constraint first, for she began to smile merrily. "There must be a story for me to hear about all this," she said. "But I was sure that I had seen your eyes before.
'Then you do not quite hate me, Netta? he said, putting his arm round her neck, 'I thought all the old love was gone. 'No, no, Howel! Dear, dear Howel! I love you in my heart! but you are so changed so so you don't care for my company now. You never come home and play and sing as you used to do.

Wendot and Griffeth regretted this without seeing how to mend matters. They felt sorry for Llewelyn and Howel, deprived of the employments and authority they had enjoyed of late, and would have gladly given them a share of authority in Dynevor; but this they would not accept, drawing more and more away into themselves, and sharing their confidences with no one except Wenwynwyn.
Netta did as she was bid, and in a short time was at the head of the table, on which a wedding-breakfast had been duly placed, according to the general rules laid down for such occasions.

By this lake's end, where this water floweth, is a certain little lake, to the wonder of men!

I am calling my Howel as good or better as your Netta. There was a time when you might been looking higher, but now I conceit it, it will be us as do condescend.
'Hold your tongue! said her father sternly, as Netta led her out of the room. 'Netta, whispered Howel, 'our name is Mills here just for a time only. When Netta went into the close, dark bedroom at the back of the sitting-room, she took off her sobbing child's things, set her on her lap, and by degrees soothed her to sleep.
THEN they blew to the field; and there the King of Northgalis encountered with the King of Scots, and there the King of Scots had a fall; and the King of Ireland smote down King Uriens; and the King of Northumberland smote down King Howel of Brittany; and Sir Galahad, the haut prince, smote down Chaleins of Clarance.
