She was a good lady, and very kind to the poor; when they came to her gate they were never sent away without something to cheer them.

She was a grand lady too--kept grand company, and used to be drawn about in a coach by four horses.

But she too is gone, and the house is cold and empty; no fire in it, sir; no furniture.
There was an auction after her death; and a grand auction it was and lasted four days.

Oh, what a throng of people there was, some of whom came from a great distance to buy the curious things, of which there were plenty." We passed over a bridge, which crosses a torrent, which descends from the mountain on the south side of Llangollen, which bridge John Jones told me was called the bridge of the Melin Bac, or mill of the nook, from a mill of that name close by.

Continuing our way we came to a glen, down which the torrent comes which passes under the bridge.
