"Any altars of the Druids?" said I; "any stone tables?"
"None," said the man of the hat. "What may those stones be?" said I, pointing to the stones which had struck my attention. "Mere common rocks," said the man. "May I go and examine them?" said I. "Oh yes!" said he of the hat, "and we will go with you." We went to the stones, which were indeed common rocks, and which when I reached them presented quite a different appearance from that which they presented to my eye when I viewed them from afar. "Are there many altars of the Druids in Llydaw?" said the man of the hat. "Plenty," said I, "but those altars are older than the time of the Welsh colonists, and were erected by the old Gauls." "Well," said the man of the cap, "I am glad I have seen the man of Llydaw." "Whom do you call a man of Llydaw?" said I. "Whom but yourself?" said he of the hat. |
