I asked him about the chair of Rhys Goch.

He told me that he had heard of some such chair a long time ago, but could give me no information as to where it stood.

I know not how it happened that he came to speak about my landlady, but speak about her he did.

He said that she was a good kind of woman, but totally unqualified for business, as she knew not how to charge.

On my observing that that was a piece of ignorance with which few landladies or landlords either were taxable, he said that however other publicans might overcharge, undercharging was her foible, and that she had brought herself very low in the world by it--that to his certain knowledge she might have been worth thousands instead of the trifle which she was possessed of, and that she was particularly notorious for undercharging the English, a thing never before dreamt of in Wales.
