"Yes, I think indeed, Shoni, I am sure of it; but where is the fair to-day?" "At Llanython, of course; wasn't you hear of it? Why! you ought to be there, pranked out in your ribbons and finery, talking and laughing with the young men, and coming home in the evening with your pocket-handkerchief full of gingerbread and nuts," and he looked her over from top to toe.
Valmai rose wearily from the table, and went up the stairs to her own room, where she hastily gathered a few things together into a light basket, her heavier things she had packed some time before in readiness for some such sudden departure as this. Meanwhile, in the parlour below the sturdy Shoni faced his irate master. "Man," he said, "are you not ashamed of yourself?"
"What wass you walk about the country for?" was his next remark. "Ah, that's it now! You are a sensible man; you come to the point at once. Well, I am very fond of making pictures." "Sell them?" "Oh no, just for my own pleasure; every man has his " "Crack!" said Shoni. "Yes, crack, if you like," said Ellis, laughing, and opening his portfolio; "here are some of my cracks."
This Tadafuyu was discharging his military duties in Bingo when news reached him of Moronao's coup d'etat in Kyoto and of his own patron, Tadayoshi's discomfiture. At once Tadafuyu crossed the sea to Higo in Kyushu, where a large number of discontented samurai rallied to his banner, and Shoni, the Ashikaga tandai of Kyushu, soon found himself vigorously attacked.
"Well, she came back after you were gone, then, and shook hands with me, but said her uncle did not seem delighted to hear I was the Vicar's friend." "Of course not." "But I made love to Shoni and gained his consent, and he is the real master there, I fancy." "You did?" said Cardo, lost in admiration of his friend's shrewdness. "I did," said Ellis.

"That's Ogo Wylofen," he said. "Ach y fi!" said Shoni, with a shudder, "wherr you bin when you painted that?" "At the mouth of the cave in a boat. It is magnificent, that rushing water, those weird wailings, and the mysterious figures of spray which pass up into the dark fissures." But this was far above Shoni's head.
Shoni was lost in admiration, but did not think it wise to show it, so he stood silent for some time, with his hands under his coat tails and his red-bearded chin first turned to one side and then to the other, as he looked with critical eyes at the pictures.
