Excerpt from Wild Wales: Its People, Language, and Scenery
Proposed Excursion - Knowledge of Welsh - Singular Groom - Harmonious Distich - Welsh Pronunciation - Dafydd Ab Gwilym.
In the summer of the year 1854 myself, wife, and daughter determined upon going into Wales, to pass a few months there. We are country people of a corner of East Anglia, and, at the time of which I am speaking, had been residing so long on our own little estate, that we had become tired of the objects around us, and conceived that we should be all the better for changing the scene for a short period. We were undetermined for some time with respect to where we should go. I proposed Wales from the first, but my wife and daughter, who have always had rather a hankering after would be more advisable to go tho Harrowgate or Leamington. On my observing that those were terrible places for expense, they replied that, thought the price of corn had of late been shamefully low, we had a spare hundred pounds or two in our pockets, and could afford to pay for a little insight into fashionable life.
