Garthowen

CHAPTER XXI
13/17

And if all the world is going to turn against him because his love for his son did prove stronger than his honesty, why! it's home to Garthowen I'll go, to cheer him and to love him, and to show the world that I for one will stick to him, weak or strong, upright or sinful!" "Gethin bach! thou know'st what real love is! Love that no folly or weakness, or even sin, in the dear one can alter.

That is what I have come to fetch; a son to support and comfort my old friend in his latter days.

Gwilym Morris is good and kind to him, and Ann--thou know'st they are married these four years ?" "Yes, Jim Brown told me, and I was very glad." "But 'tis his own son he is longing for.

''Tis my boy Gethin I want to see,' he says; 'he was so kind to me.'" "Did he say that ?" "That did he." "Diwss anwl! I never knew he cared a button for me." He was longing to ask for Morva.
"Thee hasn't asked for Morva yet," said Sara.
"Is she well ?" "Oh! well--quite well, and as happy as a bird since Will is married." "Since Will is married! How can that be if he has deserted her and married another woman?
I never thought Will would do that! And who has he married?
"A lady, Gethin! Miss Gwenda Vaughan of Nantmyny--didst ever hear such a thing ?--and as sweet a girl as ever lived!" "Well, well, and so Will has married a lady?
Well, that's his choice, mine would never lie that way; a simple country lass for me, or else none at all, and most likely 'twill be that.

Well, we may say good-bye to Will.
