(1, 0) 38 Well, thank goodness, that's done.
(1, 0) 39 I've just written to Lizzie Ann.
(1, 0) 40 You'll have her back here on Monday.
(Gwen) I didn't think, when I let her go down to Llantrisant, that I was going to miss her like this.
 
(Gwen) Of course it would not be right to stop her, and them expecting a baby in the house in seven or eight weeks.
(1, 0) 43 Well, anyhow, back she'll be on Monday.
(Gwen) It isn't so much the extra work on me I'm thinking of, but I miss her about the place here.
 
(1, 0) 47 I'm glad I've done those two letters.
(1, 0) 48 It's a job I can't abide ─ writing letters.
(1, 0) 49 Comes of having so little schooling, I suppose.
(Gwen) Have you finished the letter to Myfanw', John?
 
(1, 0) 52 Aay, my gel.
(1, 0) 53 Finished at last!
(Gwen) {Dropping the stocking to her lap.}
 
(1, 0) 57 Aay, my gel, I've put it in.
(Gwen) I don't know how I'm going to part with him, John.
 
(Gwen) I can't understand, John, why God puts people together, if they've got to part after all.
(1, 0) 62 Don't you get low-hearted, Gwen fach.
(1, 0) 63 It's all for the best.
(1, 0) 64 You know yourself that Doctor Willie Jenkins was saying only the other day that part of Australia is the very place for a man in consumption.
(1, 0) 65 It's lucky for us Myfanw' asked us to send him out, and her knowing that he's ill, too.
(Gwen) Well, Myfanw'll be lucky to get him.
 
(Gwen) I suppose you put in the letter about him winning the prize at the Eisteddfod in Mountain Ash?
(1, 0) 69 Of course, Gwen
(1, 0) 70 Of course!
(Gwen) And only five weeks now before he'll be going!
 
(1, 0) 75 Think, Gwen, think what it means!
(1, 0) 76 A few years, and then, after all the praying and heart-breaking we've had for him, we'll have him back again ─ a fine, strong man!
(Gwen) Aay, John, I know, I know!
 
(1, 0) 83 How d'you spell "endeavoring," Gwen?
(Gwen) {Very thoughtful.}
 
(Gwen) Better for you, John bach, if you'd written in Welsh!
(1, 0) 89 Oh, indeed!
(1, 0) 90 And let her husband think I haven't got any English, and him and me not speaking when they left Aberpandy?
(1, 0) 91 No fear!
 
(1, 0) 93 Aay!
(1, 0) 94 If I'd only had a bit of schooling!
(1, 0) 95 The chances they get to-day ─ board-school, intermediate, college!
 
(Gwen) I wonder what he'll look like!
(1, 0) 99 Look like?
(1, 0) 100 Who?
(Gwen) Our Gwilym ─ when he comes back strong and well.
 
(1, 0) 107 Gwen fach, you're always thinking of the boys!
(GWen) {With a touch of surprise.}
 
(1, 0) 115 Aay, the strike!
(1, 0) 116 One after another ─ strike, strike, strike!
(1, 0) 117 Couldn't you get one on old account from Parry the Fish Shop?
(Gwen) They aren't giving old account to anybody now.
 
(1, 0) 121 Aay, there you are!
 
(1, 0) 123 And that's the lot our Lewis is in with!
(1, 0) 124 And a respectable man like me, that's paid his way all his life, has got to suffer for a gang of rodneys willing to shout with any fool that lifts his finger.
 
(1, 0) 126 They're down there now in the Drill Hall picking their new candidate for Parliament ─ and a fine beauty they will pick, too!
(Gwen) {Who has been pursuing a course of private reflection.}
 
(1, 0) 134 Oh, he'll be respectable enough for my sister Myfanw', don't you fear!
(1, 0) 135 I don't see that she's got grounds to be over particular.
(Gwen) You mean, John, about her running away with the barman?
 
(Gwen) You mean, John, about her running away with the barman?
(1, 0) 137 Aay, I do!
(Gwen) Well, she married him; that's something, anyhow.
 
(Gwen) Well, she married him; that's something, anyhow.
(1, 0) 139 She was a disgrace to the family was our Vanw'.
(1, 0) 140 There was her father had been a deacon all those years, and me just made superintendent of the Sunday-school!
(Gwen) Well, John, it isn't for me to say anything against your father, and him in his grave today.
 
(1, 0) 144 He was a respectable, God-fearing man and died without any one being able to say he owed so much as a ha'penny.
(1, 0) 145 And he lived in his own house for twenty years ─ freehold, mind you, too!
(Gwen) All the same, John, I don't agree with bringing up children as if there was always a corpse in the house.
 
(Gwen) I can't help thinking our John Henry is growing up to look the living image of his Aunt Myfanw'.
(1, 0) 150 There is a bit of likeness, it's true.
(1, 0) 151 And there's no denying he's got a grand voice.
(Gwen) And there's something about his nose and chin, too.
 
(Gwen) Have you put anything about him in the letter?
(1, 0) 154 Oh, yes!
 
(1, 0) 156 "We are expecting our John Henry back from college ─"
(Gwen) University, John, University!
 
(1, 0) 159 "From the University in Cardiff to-morrow or the day after.
(1, 0) 160 I think I told you before that he is preparing for the ministry.
(1, 0) 161 He is now in his second year, and next year he will be trying for the B.A."
(Gwen) {To herself with great gusto.}
 
(Gwen) The Rev. John Henry Price B.A.
(1, 0) 164 "Perhaps he will study for the B.D. afterward, but that isn't quite settled yet.
(1, 0) 165 Fortunately ─ {Gwen looks up at the long word} ─ fortunately he won a County Exhibition, so that we don't have to keep him altogether."
(Gwen) We couldn't have done it, John, not with poor Gwilym bad as he is.
 
(1, 0) 169 That was a grand sermon he gave us last Christmas, Gwen ─ a grand sermon!
(1, 0) 170 There aren't many not yet out of college would venture on a text like that ─ "In the beginning was the Word" ─ "Yn y dechreuad yr oedd y Gair."
(1, 0) 171 I can't understand him sending Isaac Pugh's William Ewart up to Treherbert the other Sunday.
(1, 0) 172 Must have been a great disappointment to them up there.
(Gwen) Working hard for the exams he is, no doubt, because he hasn't written home these last few weeks ─ nothing beyond a couple of picture postcards.
 
(Gwen) Working hard for the exams he is, no doubt, because he hasn't written home these last few weeks ─ nothing beyond a couple of picture postcards.
(1, 0) 174 I can't say Isaac Pugh was very enthusiastic about the sermon last Christmas, though the other deacons praised it beyond.
(Gwen) Well, you see, John, Isaac Pugh's William Ewart is studying for a preacher, too, so p'raps we oughtn't to expect it.
 
(Gwen) Well, you see, John, Isaac Pugh's William Ewart is studying for a preacher, too, so p'raps we oughtn't to expect it.
(1, 0) 176 No.
(1, 0) 177 He couldn't stomach it was our John Henry won the County Exhibition, and not his William Ewart.
(1, 0) 178 And then he's so set on giving the call to Jones of Dowlais.
(1, 0) 179 He's getting that polite, is Isaac Pugh, I can hardly abide talking to him.
(Gwen) I suppose you've told Myfanw' about the call to Horeb?
 
(1, 0) 183 "You'll be glad to hear that, after being without a regular pastor since Roberts and his gang started the split at Bethania, we're going to give a call in Horeb at last."
 
(1, 0) 185 I don't know, Gwen, if you've been thinking what I've been thinking about this call.
(Gwen) {Calmly.}
 
(1, 0) 189 Well, it would be a grand thing if John Henry had finished college and could have it, wouldn't it now?
(1, 0) 190 Of course, it's only seven pound a month, but he'd be able to work it up.
(Gwen) {Laying down her mending.}
 
(Gwen) Only five more weeks!
(1, 0) 199 Dewch nawr, Gwen!
(1, 0) 200 Dewch!
(1, 0) 201 It's no use looking at it like that.
(Gwen) I can't help it, John bach.
 
(1, 0) 238 Wel, Gwilym, ffor' ma'i nawr, machan-i?
(Gwen) Where you've been all the time, boy bach?
 
(Gwen) And the weather so hot like this.
(1, 0) 241 I was telling your mother after dinner you ought to lie down a bit in the afternoons.
(Gwilym) That's all right, 'nhad!
 
(Gwilym) Well, I went for a stroll as far as the Institute, and then I thought I'd wait to hear whom they had selected as candidate.
(1, 0) 261 That feller Pinkerton, I suppose.
(Sam) Got it, boss, got it fust taime!
 
(Pugh) I suppose you've heard the news?
(1, 0) 294 Aay, I've heard.
(Pugh) Well, I never thought I'd live to see a man like that Pinkerton being Member of Parliament for the valley ─ never!
 
(Gwilym) They say he's a very able man, Mr. Pugh.
(1, 0) 297 It's men like him are the curse of South Wales to-day.
(1, 0) 298 Who is he, I'd like to know, that he should be made a proper "god" of?
(1, 0) 299 I've been in the valley here now for sixty years.
(1, 0) 300 I remember Aberpandy before ever the Powell-Griffiths sank the first pit, and the sheep of Pandy Farm were grazing quiet where the Bryndu Pit is now.
(1, 0) 301 And I never so much as heard talk of this fellow Pinkerton till two or three years ago.
(Pugh) Well, I thought it was understood, long enough ago, too, that Evan Davies would get it when George Llewelyn went.
 
(Gwilym) But there's a change come over the valley.
(1, 0) 306 Aay, Gwilym, a change, a sad change, and a bad one.
(1, 0) 307 A good, steady man is Evan Davies ─ a tidy, respectable man, and been a deacon for twenty years I know of.
(1, 0) 308 I remember the time when we went down the valley together to see Gladstone.
 
(1, 0) 310 Aay ─ yr hên Gladstone!
(1, 0) 311 There was a man for you!
(1, 0) 312 And look at this feller Pinkerton.
(1, 0) 313 D'you ever hear of him so much as darkening the door of a chapel ─ or even of the Church for a matter of that?
(1, 0) 314 Why can't he hold his old meetings on some other day than Sunday?
(1, 0) 315 Isn't it hard enough to keep the congregation together without him and his meetings?
(1, 0) 316 "Six days shalt thou labor" ─ "Chwe diwrnod y gweithi" ─ isn't it written?
(1, 0) 317 But, of course, that don't count to-day.
(Gwen) {Pouring out a cup of tea.}
 
(1, 0) 334 I heard your William Ewart did very well up in Treherbert the other Sunday.
