She would go home and eat her frugal dinner of brown bread and bwdran, and then she would set off to Ynysoer to spend a few hours with Nance Owen, who had nursed her as a baby before her parents had left Wales. In spite of the increasing storm she reached the beach, and turned her face towards Ynysoer, a small island or rather a promontory, which stretched out from the shore.
"All that day, and all the next, I went about from place to place, but not to the Berwen, I could not walk there without you; and the next morning, when I came back from Ynysoer, where I had been to see Nance, I found my uncle reading a letter. It was from Jim Harris, the sailor, who does everything for Uncle John, to say he had broken his leg, and would I come and nurse him?
"Yes," said Valmai, hesitating, "the little one is ill." She did not say, "my baby," as she had done at the doctor's. At the first contact with the world beyond Ynysoer, where she had been so long secluded and sheltered, a feeling of nervous shyness began to over-shadow her. "Dear, dear!" was all Dan's answer, Once on the island, Mr.
One or two of Cardo's long steps brought him up with her. "Don't you come from Ynysoer?" he said. "I think I know your face." "Yes, gwae fi! that I had got safe back again, but my mother is ill," she shouted, as the wind carried her words away, "and I must stay with her till tomorrow, no one could go back over the Rock Bridge to-night; though, indeed, I met a young girl crossing "
As she reached the bottom of the cliff and trod on the firm, hard sand below, she saw him standing in the shadow of a rock, and gazing out at the sea over which the moon made a pathway of silver. The fishing boats from Ynysoer were out like moths upon the water. They glided from the darkness across that path of light and away again into the unknown. On one a light was burning.
He had been as far as Ynysoer, and he brought back a creel full of fish for Phil, to make up. Phil made a good penny by the fish, and forgave the boy bâch; but his father was thorny to Gethin for a long time. Then at last he did something I never knew what that offended his father bitterly, and he was sent away, and never came back again."
It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon as he reached that part of the high road from which the beach was visible, and here he stopped a moment to look and wonder at the storm, which had so suddenly increased in violence. "How far up the beach at Ynysoer those breakers run! And the Rock Bridge! I wouldn't like to cross that to-night; but surely that was a woman's figure crossing it now!"
Will you go with Miss Powell, to see h'm a baby which she is taking a great interest in on Ynysoer?" "Yes, certainly," said the young assistant, colouring, for he had heard Valmai's story, and never having seen her, was now rather bewildered by her beauty, and the awkwardness of the situation. "Oh, thank you; can you come at once?" said Valmai. "At once," said the young man.
