The wake departed; and the guysers came。 There was loud

applause; and shouting and excitement as the old mystery play of

St。 George; in which every man present had acted as a boy;

proceeded; with banging and thumping of club and dripping

pan。

〃By Jove; I got a crack once; when I was playin Beelzebub;〃

said Tom Brangwen; his eyes full of water with laughing。 〃It

knocked all th sense out of me as youd crack an egg。 But I

tell you; when I e to; I played Old Johnny Roger with St。

George; I did that。〃

He was shaking with laughter。 Another knock came at the door。

There was a hush。

〃Its th cab;〃 said somebody from the door。

〃Walk in;〃 shouted Tom Brangwen; and a red…faced grinning man

entered。

〃Now; you two; get yourselves ready an off to blanket fair;〃

shouted Tom Brangwen。 〃Strike a daisy; but if youre not off

like a blink o lightnin; you shanna go; you sll sleep

separate。〃

Anna rose silently and went to change her dress。 Will

Brangwen would have gone out; but Tilly came with his hat and

〃Well; heres luck; my boy;〃 shouted his father。

〃When th fats in th fire; let it frizzle;〃 admonished his

uncle Frank。

〃Fair and softly does it; fair an softly does

〃Dont be so free of your advice……its his wedding this

time; not yours。〃

〃E dont want many sign…posts;〃 said his father。 〃Theres

some roads a man has to be led; an theres some roads a

boss…eyed man can only follow wi one eye shut。 But this road

cant be lost by a blind man nor a boss…eyed man nor a

cripple……and hes neither; thank God。〃

〃Dont you be so sure o your walkin powers;〃 cried Franks
