Once as he was lying in his cell he heard two men out abroad discoursing about Wyn Ab Nudd, and saying that he was king of the Tylwyth or Teg Fairies, and lord of Unknown, whereupon Collen thrusting his head out of his cave told them to hold their tongues, for that Wyn Ab Nudd and his host were merely devils.
I only wish there were as few corpse- candles as there are Tylwith Teg, and that they did as little harm." "They foreshow people's deaths, don't they?" said I. "They do, sir; but that's not all the harm they do. They are very dangerous for anybody to meet with. If they come bump up against you when you are walking carelessly it's generally all over with you in this world.
"Proffis-or Frowenfel', good-day! Teg a cha'." She laughed. It was the pure joy of existence. "You's well? You lookin' verrie well! Halways bizzie? You fine dad agriz wid you' healt', 'Sieur Frowenfel'? Yes? Ha, ha, ha!" She suddenly leaned toward him across the arm of her chair, with an earnest face. "'Sieur Frowenfel', Palmyre wand see you.
But the hair is not golden, as the hair of the Queen of the Tylwyth Teg should be; it is dark as Winnie's own. Then the face turned and she looked at the river, and then I exclaimed 'Winifred! And then Fairy Glen vanished and I was at Raxton standing by a cottage door in the moonlight.
I, too, began talking against time, for the beating of my heart began again at the thought of what I was going to say and do. 'Hat! I said; 'do you wear hats, Winifred? I should as soon have thought of hearing the Queen of the Tylwyth Teg ask for her hat as you, after such goings-on as those I have just been witnessing. You see I have not forgotten the Welsh you taught me.
She lifted her eyes with the evident determination to meet his own squarely, but it was too much; they fell as before; yet she went on speaking: "An' w'en someboddie git'n' ti'ed livin' wid 'imsev an' big'n' to fill ole, an' wan' someboddie to teg de care of 'im an' wan' me to gid marri'd wid 'im I thing 'e's in love to me." Her fingers kept up a little shuffling with the fan. "I thing I'm crezzy.
Like the “good folk” of certain country districts in England, the pixies of Devonshire, and the “Tylwyth Teg” of rural Wales, these elfin people of the ravines are not malicious or unkindly in their nature, but they are particular and somewhat exacting in certain matters.
What do the books which mention it say about it, your honour? 'Very little, said I, 'beyond mentioning it; what do the people here say of it? 'All kinds of strange things, your honour. 'Do they say who built it? 'Some say the Tylwyth Teg built it, others that it was cast up over a dead king by his people.
What is Gwyn the son of Nudd, king of fairie, the ruler of the Tylwyth Teg, or family of beauty, who till the day of doom fights on every first day of May, the great feast of the sun among the Celtic peoples, with Gwythyr, for the fair Cordelia, the daughter of Lear?
"Rather too quiet, sir," said the good woman, "one would wish to have more visitors." "I suppose," said I, "people from Llangollen occasionally come to visit you." "Sometimes, sir, for curiosity's sake; but very rarely the way is very steep." "Do the Tylwyth Teg ever pay you visits?" "The Tylwyth Teg, sir?" "Yes; the fairies.
