Really, if these two are a fair specimen of the Wrexham population, my friend the Scotch policeman was not much out when he said that the people of Wrexham were the worst people in Wales."
Robertson's first game against England, and he has no reason to be ashamed of the way in which he helped Scotland to obtain victory. On the Monday following this match he played against Wales at Wrexham. When Mr.
Ask me to do anything, but don't ask me to go away to go back to Wrexham. You are much stronger than I am. If you thought you ought to cut out your heart by little pieces, you would do it. But you must think of me. They may have all my money that is all they care for. But I must have you."
The road to Llangollen turns off between Chirk and Wrexham; and on passing a certain point you come all at once upon the valley, which opens like an amphitheatre, broad, barren hills rising in majestic state on either side, with 'green upland swells that echo to the bleat of flocks' below, and the river Dee babbling over its stony bed in the midst of them.

Seeing a respectable-looking man near the house I went up to him. "Am I in the right way to Wrexham?" said I, addressing him in English.
I passed some huge black buildings which a man told me were collieries, and several carts laden with coal, and soon came to Rhiwabon a large village about half way between Wrexham and Llangollen.
