Whether these Poems are of Scots or Irish Origin I know not; but they were not known to the World till very lately. If Dr. Robertson says that they always were, and now are known in the Highlands of Scotland; I say in Answer, so was the Expedition of Madog in the High Lands of Wales, as appears from the Poems of Sir Meredyth ab Rhy's, and of other Bards.
"And you will forgive me," said Slotman, "but when you have heard what I have to say, I very much doubt if you will regard Miss Joan Meredyth in the light of your future wife." Johnny moved towards the door and opened it. "I think it will be better if you go," he said quietly. "If you do, you will be sorry when it is too late. I come here as a friend " "You will go!"
For the dazed second or two he seemed to be Reggie Dacre over again. But he had thrown back the bedclothes and his broad chest and great arms were free. His pleasant voice rang out at once. "Hallo! Hallo! You are a good Samaritan. Is that you, Marigold? There's a comfortable chair by the bedside for Major Meredyth." He seemed remarkably strong and hearty; far from any danger of death.
"Do you like Joan Meredyth?" she said. "Splendid! What a clever little brain!" He shut his eyes. "I married Miss Joan Meredyth on the first of June, or was it the second, in the year nineteen hundred and eighteen? We lived a cat-and-dog existence, and parted with mutual recriminations, since when I have not seen her! Marjorie, do you think she will swallow it?"
I felt my heart going out to her in remorse and pity and tenderness. A man must be a devil who could feel otherwise.... Our lives were bound up together.... I kissed her and she clung to me. Then we talked for a while ways and means.... It was time to go back. We rose. And then Meredyth this is what she said: "'You swear to marry me? "'I swear it, said I. "'In spite of anything?
So the next day I called on Boyce and told him, with such tact as I have at command, of Sir Anthony's wounded feelings. "My dear Meredyth," said he. "I can only say to you what I tried to explain to the irascible little man. If I accepted one invitation, I should have to accept all invitations or give terrible offence all over the place. I'm here a sick man and my mother's an invalid.
"I'd go back to Hurst Dormer and stick there, whether I wanted to or not." Ellice, pedalling homeward, went more slowly now she was clear of the village. She wanted to think it all over in her mind, and arrived at conclusions. At first she had thought that Joan Meredyth and Johnny too had deliberately cut her dead. But that was folly; they had cut her, but then in this matter she had not counted.
Slotman's inner office he and his friend, Mr. James Bloomberg, lighted expensive cigars. "So the pretty typist has gone, of course?" said Bloomberg. Slotman started. "You mean ?" "Miss Meredyth; I've heard about her." "About her. What?" Bloomberg drew at his cigar. "Of course you know she's come into money, a pot of money and a fine place down in the country.
Ideas, excuses, lies entered his mind, he put them aside instantly, as being unworthy of him and of her, yet he must tell her something. "When when I used your name, believe me, I had no idea that it was the property of a living woman " "When you used my name? I don't understand you!" "I claimed that I was married to a Miss Joan Meredyth " "I still don't understand you.
It hath been said by some Writers that these Lines were found cut upon a stone in Mexico, but this is said without Foundation. It is much more probable that they were written, on the above occasion, by Sir Meredyth ab Rhys, who flourished about 300 Years after Madog's Voyages.
