I dare
say you've heard o' what the Gorgios call the triple echo o' Llyn
Ddu'r Arddu. Well, it's somethin' like that, only bein' done by the
knocking sperrits, it's grander and don't come 'cept when they hears
the Welsh dukkerin gillie. Now, you must hide yourself somewheres
while I go and touch the crwth in her favourite place. I think she'll
come to that. I wish though I hadn't brought ye,' she continued,
looking at me meditatively; 'you're a little winded a-ready, and we
ain't begun the rough climbing at all. Up to this 'ere pool Winnie
and me and Rhona Boswell used to climb when we was children; it
needed longer legs nor ourn to get farther up, and you're winded
a-ready. If she should come on you suddent, she's liker than not to
run for a mile or more up that path where we've just been and then to
jump down one of them chasms you've just seed. But if she does pop
on ye, don't you try to grab her, whatever you do; leave me alone for
that. You ain't got strength enough to grab a hare; you ought to be
in bed. Besides, she won't be skeared at me.
