Sinfi's movements now were an exact repetition of everything she did on that first morning of our search for Winnie. While I stood partially concealed in my crevice, Sinfi took up her crwth, which was lying on the rock. 'What are you going; to do, Sinfi? I said. 'I'm just goin' to bring back old times for you. You remember that mornin' when my crwth and song called Winnie to us at this very llyn?
And then she looked as if she was tempted to reveal some secret that she was bound not to tell. 'Sinfi's been very bad, she went on, 'but she's better now. Her daddy says she's under a cuss. She's been a-wastin' away like, but she's better now. 'So it's Sinfi who is under a curse now, I said to myself. 'I suppose Superstition has at last turned her brain.
Her confidence, however, was so great that I began to feel she was safe; and after she had passed out of sight I returned to the llyn where we had breakfasted. Sinfi's music ceased, but Winifred did not return. I sat down on the rock and tried to think, but soon found that the feat was impossible. The turbulent waves of my emotion seemed to have washed my brain clear of all thoughts.
I bade them good-night, and joined Panuel at the door. I was conducting him along the corridor to his room when the door was reopened and Sinfi's head appeared, as bright as ever, and then a beckoning hand.
I knew by this time that it was useless to battle against Sinfi's conviction that the curse would have to be literally fulfilled, so I kept silence. While she was speaking I was suddenly struck by a thought that ought to have come before. 'Sinfi, I said, 'didn't you know an English lady named Dalrymple, who lodged with Mrs. Davies for some years? 'Yis, said Sinfi, 'and I did think o' her.
Sinfi's inquiries here her inquiries everywhere that day ended in nothing but blank and cruel disappointment. Remembering that Winifred's very earliest childhood was passed near Carnarvon, I proposed to the Gypsy that we should go thither at once.
