From Across the Ancient Waters
“Life-changing it had indeed been.
At nineteen, as he now looked back on his existence leading up to that fateful time, his heart overflowed with gratitude for his father’s courage to take such strong action on his behalf.
As he sat on the coach bouncing over the countryside toward Llanfryniog, how very different were the thoughts going through his brain from that day three years earlier when he and his father had jostled along this same road in chilly silence.
He remembered that first awkward e...ncounter with his aunt Katherine and uncle Roderick. He thought he would be so bored in Wales. As it turned out, his memories of the coast of Gwynedd were among the most wonderful of his life.
He did not have as long this time as before—a mere three weeks. Then he would have to hurry north to begin a tutoring assignment in Aberdeen. But he determined to make the most of what time he had.
It would be interesting to see whether his cousins had changed. Reports had reached them that Courtenay had just completed his second year at Oxford and had not been home in all those two years.MoreLess
