THE REDEEMER
Adam the son of Bern-DavyddBern-Davydd being the Ruler of Capel Sion before the day of Bryn-Bevanwas walking along the Road of the Romans, the narrow way that begins at the forehead of the School and disappears in the heather of the moor. His companion was Lissi, the servant of Ellen the Weaver’s Widow.
Midway there is a breach in the hedge, wherein, on a big stone, Adam and Lissi rested, and while they rested Joshua Llanwen came upon them. Joshua said:
“Say you are Adam the son of Bern-Davydd, boy, and the wench Lissi?”
“Iss, iss, little Adam am I.”
“Now what for you mean to be here in the dark?” said Joshua.
