Motochika obeyed, but on the death of Nobunaga and his son he constituted himself master of Shikoku until Hideyoshi deprived him of all save Tosa. From 1156 to 1581 the Kono family held the province of Iyo, but there is nothing of historical interest in their career. Connected with Kyushu are the families of Shoni, Otomo, Ryuzoji, Kikuchi and Shimazu.
Gwen would see to the housework, and would brook no interference with her management. Nobody wanted her, and nobody thought of her, except Shoni, and to him she seemed rather a burden; or was there one who thought of her sometimes? who cared a little for her?
"Are you going to walk?" "Why, no! ride, of course. Where's Malen?" "I think Shoni was just putting her into the cart." "Oh! I forgot to tell him," said the absent-minded man. "Tell him to saddle her, and bring her here at once." Valmai ran out, and picking her way daintily through the stubble of the farm-yard, caught sight of Shoni fastening the last buckle of Malen's cart harness.
"You are a rich man I am poor; everything you see here belongs to Shoni, and it is very hard that Valmai should have all my brother's money, and I be left with none." "I think it is hard," said Mr. Lewis Wynne, "and as my nephew will be a very wealthy man, I am certain that he and his wife will be willing to pay you every year the amount which you lost by your brother's will."
Oh! then you will never come back to Traeth Berwen!" "Indeed, indeed I will, Miss Powell you laugh at that well may I say Valmai, then?" "Yes; why not? Everyone is calling me Valmai, even Shoni our servant." "I may venture, then; and will you call me Cardo?" "Yes, indeed; Cardo Wynne.
"To-day is the fair; you had forgotten that, I suppose." "Well, well! next week will do," and he trotted away, Shoni looking after him with undisguised contempt. "There's a man, now," he said in English, for he was proud of his proficiency in that language. "Wass you ever see such a man? I tell you, Valmai, he would be ruined and put in gaol for debt long ago if I wasn't keep him out of it."
Unfortunately, an interruption was caused in 1419, when some seventeen thousand Koreans, Mongolians, and "southern barbarians" a name given promiscuously to aliens in 227 ships, bore down on Tsushima one midsummer day and were not driven off until the great families of Kyushu the Otomo, the Shoni, the Kikuchi, and the Shiba had joined forces to attack the invaders.
"Well! the wind wass blowing, and the snow wass fallin' shockin', and I could not let her carry her big bundle of clothes and she in the condition she wass " "Condition?" gasped Cardo, "what do you mean?" Shoni looked at him with keen, searching eyes.
Why you not go and stop with him a bit, and bring him back here with you?" Cardo thought the matter over silently, while Shoni whittled a stake for a hay band. "I think I will, Shoni; I feel I must go away from here for a time." "Yes, you so rich there's no need for you to work like you do." "No that's the worst of it," said Cardo; "I feel my hard work is benefiting nobody."
Shoni and Gwen continued until bedtime to discuss with unction every item of information past, possible, or prospective, connected with the death of the old Captain, while Valmai lay on the old red sofa, and thought sadly of her loss. "There's sudden," said Gwen, "but 'twill be a good thing for the master, whatever!"
