“Did this affair occur in England or Wales?”
“In the heart of England, yere hanner; we have never been to the Welsh chapels, for we know little of the language.”
“Well, I am glad it didn’t happen in Wales; I have rather a high opinion of the Welsh Methodists. The worthiest creature I ever knew was a Welsh Methodist. And now I must leave you and make the best of my way to Chepstow.”
“Can’t yere hanner give me God before ye go?”
“I can give you half-a-crown to help you on your way to America.”
“I want no half-crowns, yere hanner; but if ye would give me God I’d bless ye.”
“What do you mean by giving you God?”
“Putting Him in my heart by some good counsel which will guide me through life.”
“The only good counsel I can give you is to keep the commandments; one of them it seems you have always kept. Follow the rest and you can’t go very wrong.”
“I wish I knew them better than I do, yere hanner.”
