"I daresay it was just as you say." "How did you fare in California ?" said I.
"Very fairly indeed, sir," said the man.

"I made some money there, and brought it home, and with part of it I am building this house." "I am very happy to hear it," said I, "you are really a remarkable man--few return from California speaking Spanish as you do, and still fewer with money in their pockets." The poor fellow looked pleased at what I said, more especially at that part of the sentence which touched upon his speaking Spanish well.
Wishing him many years of health and happiness in the house he was building, I left him, and proceeded on my path towards Pentraeth Goch.
After walking some way, I turned round in order to take a last look of the place which had so much interest for me.

The mill may be seen from a considerable distance; so may some of the scattered houses, and also the wood which surrounds the house of the illustrious Gronwy.

Prosperity to Llanfair! and may many a pilgrimage be made to it of the same character as my own..
