Rounding the Cribserth, the two girls soon reached Garthowen.

It was afternoon, and drawing near tea-time.

Ebben Owens was already sitting on the settle in the best kitchen, waiting for it, when the sound of voices without attracted his attention.
"Caton pawb!" he said, "a lady, and Morva is bringing her." Ann hastened to the front door, and Morva led the horse away, knowing well that she was leaving the visitor in hospitable hands.
"I am Miss Vaughan of Nantmyny! I have been out hunting today, and on the top of the hill I felt so tired that I made up my mind to call here and ask if you would let me rest awhile." "Oh, certainly! Come in," said Ann, holding out her hand, which Gwenda took warmly.
"Miss Owen, I suppose ?" "I was Ann Owens," she said, blushing.

"I am Mrs.Gwilym Morris now these three years.

This is my little boy," she added, as a chubby, curly-headed child toddled towards her.
