"Good-evening, neighbor," cried Father Van Hove to Father Maes, whose home lay beyond his in the village. "How are your crops coming on?" "Never better," answered Father Maes; "I have more wheat to the acre than ever before." "So have I, thanks be to the good God;" answered Father Van Hove. "The winter will find our barns full this year."
At length, without experiencing any serious opposition, the army arrived in the rich valley of the Maes, and before the large and populous city of Liege.
Even more important than its results in breaking the back of Madog's insurrection, this battle of Maes Madog or Madog's field, as the Welsh called the place of their defeat is of the highest importance in the development of infantry tactics. The order of the victorious force strikingly anticipates the great battles in Scotland and France of a later generation.
Bland and 40 more have been so concerned about the King of Portugal's duties, wherein every party has laboured to cheat another, a most pleasant and profitable story to hear, and in the close made me understand Mr. Maes' business better than I did before.
The neophytes were unarmed and in their white robes, but, borne up by the sense of their new life, they had no fears for their body, and with one loud cry of "Hallelujah!" turned, with the Bishop at their head, to meet the foe. The enemy retreated in terror; and the name of Maes Garman still marks the scene of this bloodless victory.
So that when Antoine Mäes grew sick and died, more from age and weakness than any real disease, there were only a few silver crowns in the brown jug hidden in the thatch; and the hut itself, with its patch of ground, was all that he could leave to Bébée.
On the twenty-ninth of April a fine squadron from the Texel appeared in the Downs. Soon came the North Holland squadron, the Maes squadron, the Zealand squadron. The whole force of the confederate powers was assembled at Saint Helen's in the second week of May, more than ninety sail of the line, manned by between thirty and forty thousand of the finest seamen of the two great maritime nations.
"And you are going to throw that head into the Maes?" said Crawford, looking more attentively on the ghastly memorial of mortality. "Ay, truly am I," said Ludovic testily. "If you refuse a dying man his boon, you are likely to be haunted by his ghost, and I love to sleep sound at nights."

Going up to the principal house I knocked, and a woman making her appearance at the door, I said: "I beg pardon for troubling you, but I wish to know the name of this place." "Maes y Lynn The Field of the Lake," said the woman. "And what is the name of the lake?" said I. "I do not know," said she; "but the place where it stands is called Maes Llyn, as I said before." "Is the lake deep?" said I.
