Trecynon and Llwydcoed Notes.
Trecynon and Llwydcoed Notes. BY MARCELLO. The expert amateur gardener was < digging up potatoes last week, when lo and behold he came across a pearl of 1 great price-a gold ring, as he thought Like the man in the parable he was overcome with exceeding great joy, and < he went forthwith to try to seek an expert valuer. He found him and the I treasure was valued at Id. Collapse of the discoverer. I Dear J- you have my sympathy with you in your misfortune. It was a leap in the dark, and you fell in the mud. But it is no good blaming the ] lighting—or rather non-lighting author- ] ities. Theirs not to reason why; they have to obev Government orders. I would advise you to stay at home in your happy fireside clime during the hours of darkness and pursue your j work as gossip in the day. Mothers' meetings in Llwydcoed are on the increase. Marcello is, of course, not permitted to attend. Unofficial re- ports are risky, and official reports are not true to life. Bunkum asked for bread and was given a stone. He wanted from his employer a war bonus, and the latter 1 dclared war on Bunkum minus the j bonus. He is not a coward, but he is > afraid to repeat his request. Ap Barlev has found a new excuse for returning to the barrel like a dog to his vomit. He puts the fault on the high price of milk, although he has not drank any since he was on his mother s I breast. Ble'r aeth yr Amen? Where pre- viously it was loudly proclaimed amid tears a dry silence now reigns. 1 should like to get at the root of the trouble in the Amen corner, but Mar- cello dare not enter that^ holy of holies known as the "set fawr." It is always noble to assist the poor, not rob them. Who was the man who took the firewood from the poor old widow? Marcello knows. Why did the man with the brown suit leave the chapel before the ser- mon was over last Sunday? On a pil- grimage of love, I expect.
