I know too well that nothing on earth or heaven can break the bonds that bind us to each other. And this terrible parting. I could bear it far more easily if you were mine, my very own, my wife, Valmai. Then I should feel that nothing could really part us. Can it not be? Can we not be married here quietly in the old church, with none but the sea-breezes and the brawling Berwen for company?"
The Burrawalla!" and as he fingered the papers in the pocket-book, and came upon his father's signature, Meurig Wynne, he became much excited, and hunted eagerly until he found a folded paper, out of which he drew a long curl of golden hair. "Valmai!" he said, "oh, Valmai, Valmai!" and dropping on to a seat, he covered his face with his hands, and through his fingers trickled some silent tears.
Already he saw that Valmai had begun her way across.
You will see already how Gwladys, dreading your influence upon the sister whom she thought you had deceived and deserted, was tempted, by your mistaking her for Valmai, to impersonate her, and to drive you away from her presence.
"I am afraid I have a disappointment in store for you," and from his breast-pocket he drew out, and handed to Cardo, his own letter to Valmai. Cardo's face blanched, as with trembling fingers he turned the envelope round and round.
"She must think me dead, but she will soon hear; in another week she will receive my letter, and, oh! I will make up to her in the future for all she may have suffered. Valmai, my darling! I am coming back to you, to kiss away your tears, and to shield you from every trouble in the future!"
When she reached Dinas, Gwen was already laying the dinner in the little parlour. "You have been a long time," she said. "Where have you been? To the post again to-day? You never used to go to the post, Valmai." The girl did not answer, but sat down breathless on the sofa. "Where is uncle? I have a letter for him." And as she spoke her uncle entered. "A letter for me? Well, indeed!
Oh, jâr i!" said Shoni, taking off his hat to scratch his head, "there's a pity now. Essec Powell will nevare be willing for that; but nevare you mind, you kom. Here's Valmai." Cardo was nowhere to be seen. "I asked my uncle, sir," she said, "but I am sorry to say when he heard you were the Vicar's friend he was not willing, but he did not say no."
"Here's the young leddy come," said the sailor, pushing the portmanteau into the passage. "Will I pay you something?" said Valmai, nervously fingering her purse. "Aw naw, nawthin' at all," said the sailor, hurrying away, with a flush on his face that showed her her hesitation had not been unwarranted.
"Well, indeed," said Valmai, looking thoughtfully into the glowing embers, "I should like to see my sister, whatever." "Twt, twt," said the old woman, "there's no need for you to trouble your head about her; she has never troubled to seek you." "Does she know about me, do you think?" "That I can't tell, of course," said Nance, going to the door to have another look at the storm.
