It seemed that Gerent and Owen liked him well, and I wondered that Owen had not sought him when the trouble fell on him.

I think he would not go to Dyfed as a disgraced man, for I know he could not clear himself at the time.
Now at supper, presently, there was Dunwal, looking anxious, as I thought, but trying not to shew it.

His daughter Mara was there also, and as it happened she sat next to me.

I suppose the seneschal set her there as we had crossed from Dyfed together, unless she had asked it, or gone to that seat without asking.

She was very pleasant, talking of the troubles of the voyage, and so went on to speak sadly enough of the greater trouble that had waited her.
"I am glad the king has kept us, however," she said.
