From the top of the Malvern Hills the western view looks down upon the attractive valley of the river Wye, a famous stream that takes its rise in the mountains of Wales, and after flowing through Herefordshire and Monmouthshire falls into the Severn.
He meant "ova"; but the bishop insisted on the sheep; and the priest probably rubbed up his Latin grammar. Gerald had also other patriotic reasons for his hostility to the archbishop, who as chief justiciary i.e., chief minister of the king had recently attacked and defeated the Welsh between the Wye and the Severn.
It's awfu' hoo the things that folk want maist are aye the things they never get!" "Mysie, wad you marry me yet?" he asked, impulsively. "Jist this minute?
