(1, 0) 456 Good night, Mrs. Howells.
(1, 0) 457 (Seats herself on chair at end of table on left, facing MRS. HOWELLS.
 
(1, 0) 462 I suppose the bread won't be long now, Mrs. Evans?
 
(1, 0) 467 I was just saying to Jinnie─
 
(1, 0) 478 Well, indeed, I was saying to our Jinnie here, p'raps Mrs. Price Shop Loshin would be up in the bakehouse: bit early.
(1, 0) 479 Wasn't I, Jinnie?
 
(1, 0) 482 Richards has gone down the valley to see my son-in-law.
(1, 0) 483 P'raps you've heard me mention my son-in-law the minister, Mrs Howells?
 
(1, 0) 487 I don't know why he should have such looks on Richards's opinion; but he's always asking your father's advice, isn't he, Jinnie fach?
 
(1, 0) 491 Of course, they've made Richards a deacon in Horeb.
(1, 0) 492 That's one thing─
 
(1, 0) 502 And how is Mr. Jones to-night, Mrs. Jones?
(1, 0) 503 Is the rheumatic on him all the time?
 
(1, 0) 506 Very good, indeed.
(1, 0) 507 Da iawn yn wir!
(1, 0) 508 (With unctuous sympathy to MRS. HOWELLS.)
(1, 0) 509 And how is your poor husband, Mrs. Howells?
 
(1, 0) 511 I feel I ought to tell you, Mrs. Howells, how sorry I am about what happened in Horeb.
(1, 0) 512 I've said all along it was such an awful pity.
(1, 0) 513 Our Jinnie here will tell you the same─
 
(1, 0) 515 But Richards's conscience wouldn't let him rest.
 
(1, 0) 517 And he'd not long been made a deacon.
 
(1, 0) 519 And, of course, it was such a disgrace on the chapel.
 
(1, 0) 523 I am referring, Mrs. Howells, to your husband being brought home in a barrow on a Saturday night.
 
(1, 0) 544 So she's started baking then, Mrs. Evans?
 
(1, 0) 556 You can't feed a man on bonnets, Mrs. Price.
 
(1, 0) 563 People can be very deceiving, Mrs. Evans.
 
(1, 0) 567 You know what girls are to-day, Mrs. Price.
 
(1, 0) 583 Well, Jinnie fach, if ever you should happen to get married, I hope it'll be to a man that can walk home on a Saturday night.
 
(1, 0) 629 Both of them?
 
(1, 0) 696 Yes, Mrs. Evans, if there's one thing I do like to see, it's people showing respect for the dead.
 
(1, 0) 756 I'm sure I'm very glad─
