Pale as when I laid her on her bed that miserable day! 'Howel! you loved Netta, I see, and believe it now, said Rowland. 'You do! And why not before? Ah! I see. Because I have never done anything to prove it. But I did not know how I loved her until I knew how she loved me. 'Would you prove it now, if you could? 'Would I? Why do you mock me by such a question?
At ten o'clock in the morning, carriage wheels were again heard, and Mrs Prothero trembled as Howel entered the house, and there was a consultation of doctors as to the propriety of his seeing his wife at once. Mrs Griffey anticipated every one else by going direct to Howel. 'How is she, mother? were his first words. 'Better they do say. 'Then why on earth did they telegraph for me.
Now, in halting words enough I went to thank Eric and his men for that which he had done for me and mine, which indeed was more than I knew how to put into words. "Hold on, comrade," he said, staying me. "I will tell you somewhat. Good friends enough we are with Howel nowadays, but it was not always so.
'Now let me read you this, Netta? it is for the Welshman, and every one will see it: "On the 16th instant, at St James's Church, Piccadilly, London, Howel Jenkins, Esq., of our county, was married to Miss Prothero, daughter of D. Prothero, Esq., of Glanyravon. Sir John Simpson gave away the lovely bride, and the wedding-breakfast was attended by a select, but fashionable party of friends."
He is, at present, at Aberystwith." "Thanks for your courtesy, sir. To whom am I speaking?" "My name is Howel ap Ryddyn. You passed my abode, which cannot be seen from the road; and I would, were you not pressed for time, gladly entertain you; but if we push forward, we may reach Aberystwith before nightfall, and I make no question that would better suit your wishes." "Thanks, sir.
I did not know, and, to tell the truth, had forgotten to ask him in the waiting for news of Nunna. So I asked him his name with all courtesy, and could win no answer from him but a blacker scowl than ever. Judging from his arms, which were splendid, and of the half Roman pattern that Howel wore, he might be of some note. I thought Jago might know him, so I asked him.
Now he was afraid, even in the bright sunlight, and owned it. But the first shock had passed from me, and I looked for our horses. They had gone. I think that the fall of the menhir scared them, for they were yet tied where Evan left them, just before that. "Howel, the horses have broken loose and gone," I cried.
'My deet, there do be a lot of carriages! And look you, Netta, at all the gentlemen's servants in blue and silver! Here's a place! big enough to hold our town. Look you at the glass like a large hot-house. Seure all London isn't covered up like this! 'Here you are! all right come along quick! says Howel, taking them to a cab, and putting them in.
Howel, the elder of the two, has dipped a little into everything; has gained a reputation for genius; has been articled to an attorney but is in no apparent danger of becoming one has written various articles for the county papers, and has had the pleasure of seeing them printed; has acquired a smattering of several languages, and various styles of music; and has proved himself an admired beau amongst the ladies, and a favourite boon companion amongst the gentlemen.
I shall be more inclined to pray to be thrown into temptation. 'Oh, Howel! 'Well! This convict ship and the ocean, and chains and hard labour at the end, don't seem very inviting. I know it has been my own fault and my father's, but that doesn't make it better; however, I will try.
