Arthur was forth marched into Scotland; for Howel lay in Clud, fast inclosed. The Scots had besieged him with their wicked crafts, and if Arthur were not the earlier come, then were Howel taken, and all his folk there slain, and deprived of life day. But Arthur came soon, with good strength, and the Scots gan to flee far from the land, into Moray, with a mickle host.
Netta was more in love with him than ever before they reached town, and wondered that such a grand and clever gentleman could have kept constant to a little country cousin like herself. She had seen nothing of Howel during the most stirring years of his life, and could not have supposed what a change the mere commerce with the world could effect.
The reader may remember that Mrs Jenkins was at Abertewey when Howel made his triumphant entry there, but the following morning he gave her to understand, as delicately as he could, that the idiomatic translations of the Welsh language which had been so refreshing in London, would be better in her native town than at Abertewey, and she departed accordingly.
I will have of Norway nine thousand knights; and of Denmark I will lead nine thousand of the people; and of Orkney eleven hundred; and of Moray three thousand men; and of Galloway five thousand of the folk; and of Ireland eleven thousand, and of Britain my knights bold shall march before me, thirty thousand; and of Gutland I will lead ten thousand of the people; and of Frisland five thousand men; and of Little Britain Howel the bold, and with such folk France I will seek.
Rowland had not the courage to tell Miss Gwynne that the police were searching for Howel right and left upon a charge of forgery. 'Poor Netta! I am very, very sorry. What can have reduced him to this? 'Gaming, horse-racing, speculating! These will waste the largest fortune and ruin the fairest hopes.
She, in common with multitudes of her contemporaries, had come under the extraordinary spell of his pulpit oratory. In 1748, after a four years' absence in North America, Whitefield returned to England, and at her request Howel Harris, the famous Welsh evangelist, brought the great preacher to Lady Huntingdon's house in Chelsea.
The chaplain had told him that the prisoner was quite indifferent to all that he said to him on religious subjects, and listened to them, if, indeed, he listened at all, with a scoffing, incredulous, hardness of manner, that was more painful than mere carelessness. When Rowland entered the cell, Howel was sitting with his back to the door, and did not turn or take any notice of the incomers.
Needs must that you seek Howel, and he will give you a guard willingly." Then he turned toward a great rock that lay on the beach, as if it had fallen from the cliffs that towered above us. "Here is the bell that you heard last night," he said. He took a rounded stone that lay on the rock and struck it, and I knew that the clear bell note that it gave out was indeed that which had been my saving.
Howel went to do that, saying that maybe she would listen to a Briton, for most of her wrath was concerning my Saxon arms. So presently I heard her shrill voice growing calmer as Howel coaxed her, and then there was a sound as if she climbed from her perch, and Howel came back to us. "We may take you, she says. Hither come the men in all haste also, and we may get away from this place at once.
And Evan replied by asking Howel to forget rather that he had ever deserved death at his hands. "It shall be seen that I am not ungrateful to the Thane, my master, hereafter if I may live after seeing this place," he said. "Is it so deadly, then?" asked Howel, speaking low in the hush of the valley. "It is said that those who see it must die at least, of us who ken the curse on it.
