"I've got something for her, too." "Oh, well," said Will, "thou art a generous man and a rich, I should think! Perhaps thou hast one for Dyc 'pigstye' and Sara ''spridion' too." "Dyc 'pigstye'; no! But Sara, indeed I'm sorry I didn't remember her, whatever." "I hear Morva's voice in the yard.
Will I call her in ?" said Ann, and she tapped at the little side window. "No, no," said Gethin, "I will take it to her," and he went out, carrying the gaudy box in his hand. "Morva!" he called, and under the elder tree, where she was counting the chickens at roost on its branches, the girl stood facing him, the rising moon shining full upon her.
"Morva, lass," he said, drawing near; "'tis the present I told thee of.
