 for Lady Nelferch to walk all the way, her husband went back to the house, for saddle and bridle, while she should catch the horse. "Please do, and bring me my gloves from off the table," she called, as he turned towards the house. But when he returned to the field, he saw that she had not stirred. So, before handing his wife her gloves and pointing playfully to the horses, he gave her a little flick with the gloves. Instead of moving, instantly, she heaved a deep sigh. Then looking up at him with sorrowful and reproachful eyes, she said: "Remember our vow, Gwyn. This is the first causeless blow. May there never be another." Days and years passed away so happily, that the husband and father never again had to recall the promise given to his wife and her father. But when they were invited to the christening of a baby, every one was full of smiles and gayety, except Nelferch. Women, especially the older ones, often cry at a wedding, but why his wife should burst into tears puzzled Gwyn.
