carried off。  There must be a cloud right above us�察�it is so dark。  

Oh� �what a flash��'



'And what a peal��' said I�察�'that is what the Hebrews call Koul 

Adonai ´ the voice of the Lord。  Are you afraid��'



'No��' said Belle�察�'I rather like to hear it。'



'You are right��' said I�察�'I am fond of the sound of thunder myself。  

There is nothing like it�察�Koul Adonai behadar�此 �the voice of the 

Lord is a glorious voice�察�as the prayer´book version hath it。'



'There is something awful in it��' said Belle�察�'and then the 

lightning ´ the whole dingle is now in a blaze。'



';The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve�察�and discovereth 

the thick bushes。;  As you say�察�there is something awful in 

thunder。'



'There are all kinds of noises above us��' said Belle�察�'surely I 

heard the crashing of a tree��'



';The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar trees�察�' said I�察�'but 

what you hear is caused by a convulsion of the air�察�during a 

thunder´storm there are occasionally all kinds of aerial noises。  

Ab Gwilym�察�who�察�next to King David�察�has best described a 

thunderstorm�察�speaks of these aerial noises in the following 

manner�此�





'Astonied now I stand at strains��

As of ten thousand clanking chains��

And once�察�methought that�察�overthrown��

The welkin's oaks came whelming down��

Upon my head up starts my hair��

Why hunt abroad the hounds of air��

What cursed hag is screeching high��

Whilst crash goes all her crockery��'





You would hardly believe�察�Belle�察�that though I offered at least ten 

thousand lines nearly as good as those to the booksellers in 

London�察�the simpletons were so blind to their interest�察�as to 

refuse purchasing them��'



'I don't wonder at it��' said Belle�察�'especially if such dreadful 

expressions frequently occur as that towards the end�察 � surely that 

was the crash of a tree��'



'Ah��' said I�察�'there falls the cedar tree ´ I mean the sallow�察�one 

of the tall trees on the outside of the dingle has been snapped 

short。'



'What a pity��' said Belle�察�'that the fine old oak�察�which you saw 

the peasants cutting up�察�gave way the other night�察�when scarcely a 

breath of air was stirring�察�how much better to have fallen in a 

storm like this�察�the fiercest I remember。'



'I don't think so��' said I�察�'after braving a thousand tempests�察�it 

was meeter for it to fall of itself than to be vanquished at last。  

But to return to Ab Gwilym's poetry�此 �he was above culling dainty 

words�察�and spoke boldly his mind on all subjects。  Enraged with the 

thunder for parting him and Morfydd�察�he says�察�at the conclusion of 

his ode��





'My curse�察�O Thunder�察�cling to thee��

For parting my dear pearl and me��'





'You and I shall part�察�that is�察�I shall go to my tent�察�if you 

persist in repeating from him。  The man must have been a savage。  A 

poor wood´pigeon has fallen dead。'



'Yes��' said I�察�'there he lies�察�just outside the tent�察�often have I 

listened to his note when alone in this wilderness。  So you do not 

like Ab Gwilym�察�what say you to old Gothe�拭 �





'Mist shrouds the night�察�and rack��

Hear�察�in the woods�察�what an awful crack��

Wildly the owls are flitting��

Hark to the pillars splitting

Of palaces verdant ever��

The branches quiver and sever��

The mighty stems are creaking��

The poor roots breaking and shrieking��

In wild mixt ruin down dashing��

O'er one another they're crashing��

Whilst 'midst the rocks so hoary

Whirlwinds hurry and worry。

Hear'st not�察�sister ´ '





'Hark��' said Belle�察�'hark��'





'Hear'st not�察�sister�察�a chorus

Of voices ´ ��'





'No��' said Belle�察�'but I hear a voice。'







CHAPTER XCVI







A shout ´ A fireball ´ See to the horses ´ Passing away ´ Gap in 

the hedge ´ On three wheels ´ Why do you stop�拭 � No craven heart ´ 

The cordial ´ Across the country ´ Small bags。



I LISTENED attentively�察�but I could hear nothing but the loud 

clashing of branches�察�the pattering of rain�察�and the muttered growl 

of thunder。  I was about to tell Belle that she must have been 

mistaken�察�when I heard a shout ´ indistinct�察�it is true�察�owing to 

the noises aforesaid ´ from some part of the field above the 

dingle。  'I will soon see what's the matter��' said I to Belle�察�

starting up。  'I will go too��' said the girl。  'Stay where you 

are��' said I�察�'if I need you�察�I will call'�察�and�察�without waiting 

for any answer�察�I hurried to the mouth of the dingle。  I was about 

a few yards only from the top of the ascent�察�when I beheld a blaze 

of light�察�from whence I knew not�察�the next moment there was a loud 

crash�察�and I appeared involved in a cloud of sulphurous smoke。  

'Lord have mercy upon us��' I heard a voice say�察�and methought I 

heard the plunging and struggling of horses。  I had stopped short 

on hearing the crash�察�for I was half stunned�察�but I now hurried 

forward�察�and in a moment stood upon the plain。  Here I was 

instantly aware of the cause of the crash and the smoke。  One of 

those balls�察�generally called fireballs�察�had fallen from the 

clouds�察�and was burning on the plain at a short distance�察�and the 

voice which I had heard�察�and the plunging�察�were as easily accounted 

for。  Near the left´hand corner of the grove which surrounded the 

dingle�察�and about ten yards from the fireball�察�I perceived a 

chaise�察�with a postilion on the box�察�who was making efforts�察�

apparently useless�察�to control his horses�察�which were kicking and 

plunging in the highest degree of excitement。  I instantly ran 

towards the chaise�察�in order to offer what help was in my power。  

'Help me��' said the poor fellow�察�as I drew nigh�察�but before I could 

reach the horses�察�they had turned rapidly round�察�one of the fore´

wheels flew from its axle´tree�察�the chaise was overset�察�and the 

postilion flung violently from his seat upon the field。  The horses 

now became more furious than before�察�kicking desperately�察�and 

endeavouring to disengage themselves from the fallen chaise。  As I 

was hesitating whether to run to the assistance of the postilion or 

endeavour to disengage the animals�察�I heard the voice of Belle 

exclaiming�察�'See to the horses�察�I will look after the man。'  She 

had�察�it seems�察�been alarmed by the crash which accompanied the 

firebolt�察�and had hurried up to learn the cause。  I forthwith 

seized the horses by the heads�察�and used all the means I possessed 

to soothe and pacify them�察�employing every gentle modulation of 

which my voice was capable。  Belle�察�in the meantime�察�had raised up 

the man�察�who was much stunned by his fall�察�but�察�presently 

recovering his recollection to a certain degree�察�he came limping to 

me�察�holding his hand to his right thigh。  'The first thing that 

must now be done��' said I�察�'is to free these horses from the 

traces�察�can you undertake to do so��'  ' I think I can��' said the 

man�察�looking at me somewhat stupidly。  'I will help��' said Belle�察�

and without loss of time laid hold of one of the traces。  The man�察�

after a short pause�察�also set to work�察�and in a few minutes the 

horses were extricated。  'Now��' said I to the man�察�'what is next to 

be done��'  'I don't know��' said he�察�'indeed�察�I scarcely know 

anything�察�I have been so frightened by this horrible storm�察�and so 

shaken by my fall。'  'I think��' said I�察�'that the storm is passing 

away�察�so cast your fears away too�察�and as for your fall�察�you must 

bear it as lightly as you can。  I will tie the horses amongst those 

trees�察�and then we will all betake us to the hollow below。'  'And 

what's to become of my chaise��' said the postilion�察�looking 

ruefully on the fallen vehicle。  'Let us leave the chaise for the 

present��' said I�察�'we can be of no use to it。'  'I don't like to 

leave my chaise lying on the ground in this weather��' said the man�察�

'I love my chaise�察�and him whom it belongs to。'  'You are quite 

right to be fond of yourself��' said I�察�'on which account I advise 

you to seek shelter from the rain as soon as possible。'  'I was not 

talking of myself��' said the man�察�'but my master�察�to whom the 

chaise belongs。'  'I thought you called the chaise yours��' said I。  

'That's my way of speaking��' said the man�察�'but the chaise is my 

master's�察�and a better master does not live。  Don't you think we 

could manage to raise up the chaise��'  'And what is to become of 

the horses��' said I。  'I love my horses well enough��' said the man�察�

'but they will take less harm than the chaise。  We two can never 

lift up that chaise。'  'But we three can��' said Belle�察�'at least�察�I 

think so�察�and I know where to find two poles which will assist us。'  

'You had better go to the tent��' said I�察�'you will be wet through。'  

'I care not for a little wetting��' said Belle�察�'moreover�察�I have 

more gowns than one ´ see you after the horses。'  Thereupon�察�I led 

the horses past the mouth of the dingle�察�to a place where a gap in 

the hedge afforded admission to the copse or plantation on the 

southern side。  Forcing them through the gap�察�I led them to a spot 

amidst the trees which I deemed would afford them the most 

convenient place for standing�察�then�察�darting down into the dingle�察�

I brought up a rope�察�and also the halter of my own nag�察�and with 

these fastened them each to a separate tree in the best manner I 

could。  This done�察�I returned to the chaise and the postilion。  In 

a minute or two Belle arrived with two poles which�察�it seems�察�had 

long been lying�察�overgrown with brushwood�察�in a ditch or hollow 

behind the plantation。  With these both she and I set to work in 

endeavouring to raise the fallen chaise from the ground。



We experienced considerable difficulty in this undertaking�察�at 

length�察�with the assistance of the postilion�察�we saw our efforts 

crowned with success ´ the chaise was lifted up�察�and stood upright 

on three wheels。



'We may leave it here in safety��' said I�察�'for it will hardly move 

away on three wheels�察�even supposing it could run by itself�察�I am 

afraid there is work here for a wheelwright�察�in which case I cannot 

assist you�察�if you were in need of a blacksmith it would be 

otherwise。'  'I don't think either the wheel or the axle is hurt��' 

said the postilion�察�who had been handling both�察�'it is only the 

linch´pin having dropped out that caused the wheel to fly off�察�if I 

could but find the linch´pin�  � though�察�perhaps�察�it fell out a mile 

away。'  'Very likely��' said I�察�'but never mind the linch´pin�察�I can 

make you one�察�or something that will serve�此 �but I can't stay here 

any longer�察�I am going to my place below with this young 

gentlewoman�察�and you had better follow us。'  'I am ready��' said the 

man�察�and after lifting up the wheel and propping it against the 

chaise�察�he went with us�察�slightly limping�察�and with his hand 

pressed to his thigh。



As we were descending the narrow path�察�Belle leading the way�察�and 

myself the last of the party�察�the postilion suddenly stopped short�察�

and looked about him。  'Why
