How Ivor and his wife struck fire from flint, and the peculiar way in which they cooked their food is described. One day Urien, King of Scotland, passing through the forest, carries off the girl from her companion, Morwen. Similarly Kay, Arthur's seneschal, carries off the boy from Ivor. Morwen goes to Scotland to seek Orwen, the girl; Ivor to Arthur's court to seek Meriadoc, the boy.
"Well, let her have a wire beforehand," I counselled. "Tell her I'm all right, and send her my love. You'll turn up at the court to-morrow to see me through, I suppose? Tell Mary I'll probably come down to Morwen with you on Friday. That'll cheer her up no end." "I hope you may! But suppose it goes against you, and you're committed for trial?" Jim demanded gloomily.
We got on famously while we waited for Mary, chatting about England in general and Cornwall in particular. He'd been vicar of Morwen for over forty years. I had to confess that I'd not seen much of the neighborhood at present, though I hoped to do so now I was better. "It's the loveliest corner in England, sir!" he asserted enthusiastically.
He chatted for a few minutes about my recent adventures in Russia; and then, to my relief, took himself off. I felt just about dead beat! In the course of the day I got a wire from Jim Cayley, handed in at Morwen, a little place in Cornwall. "Returning to town at once; be with you to-morrow." He turned up early next morning. "Good heavens, Maurice, what's all this about?" he demanded.
The folk of that contree han a dyvers lawe: for summe of hem, worschipe the sonne, summe the mone, summe the fuyr, summe trees, summe serpentes, or the first thing that thei meeten at morwen: and summe worschipen symulacres, and summe Ydoles. But betwene symulacres and ydoles, is a gret difference.
"The day Morwen reached Scotland, Urien and Orwen are to be married. The latter recognizes Morwen in the throng by the wayside and has her brought to the palace. Ivor comes with a dead stag to Arthur's court and offers it to Kay. Meriadoc recognizes his foster-father and springs clear over the table to greet him. Kay receives Ivor among his attendants.
Treherne will drive over from Morwen vicarage, for Mary's matchmaking in that direction panned out exactly as she wished. All is well with us, pleasant and peaceful, and homelike, and yet I look at a miniature that lies on the table before me, and my mind drifts back to the unforgettable past.
"The queen dies of grief, and, to turn suspicion from himself, Griffith has the assassins put to death. Before their execution, however, they revealed Griffith's guilt. Caradoc's friends among the nobles wish to get out of Griffith's power their late master's children, who had been committed to the charge of Ivor and Morwen, the royal huntsman and his wife.
