{167i} Dr. Knapp was unable to decipher this word. He remarks in a note that the pencillings are much rubbed and almost illegible. We think, however, that the word should be Plumstone, a lofty hill which Borrow would see just before he crossed Pelcomb Bridge. {167j} This was a low thatched cottage on the St. David’s road, half-way up Keeston Hill. A few years ago it was demolished, and a new and more commodious building known as the Hill Arms erected on its site. {167k} The old inn was kept by the blind woman, whose name was Mrs. Lloyd. Many stories are related of her wonderful cleverness in managing her business, and it is said that no customer was ever able to cheat her with a bad coin. Her blindness was the result of an attack of small-pox when twelve years of age. {168a} Dr. Knapp’s insertion. {168b} It is doubtful if there was a chapel; no one remembers it. {168c} Nanny Dallas is a mistake. No such name is remembered by the oldest inhabitants, and it seems certain that the woman Borrow met was Nanny Lawless, who lived at Simpson a short distance away. {168d} Evan Rees, of Summerhill (a mile south-east of Roch). {168e} Sger-lâs and Sger-ddu, two isolated rocky islets off Solva Harbour. The headlands are the numerous prominences which jut out along the north shore of St. Bride’s Bay. {168f} Newgale Bridge. {168g} Jemmy Raymond. “Remaunt” is the local pronunciation. Jemmy and his ass appear to have been two well-known figures in Roch 30 or 40 years ago; the former died about the year 1886. {168h} Pen-y-cwm. {168i} Davies the carpenter was undoubtedly the man; he was noted for his stature. Dim-yn-clywed—deaf. {168j} Dr. Knapp here says “descriptions omitted.” Up to this point they are complete, but from here onward only a selection has been transcribed by him. {169a} The inn is now a private residence. {169b} Aber-Gwaen. {169c} Mathry. {169d} Aber-Teifi, _i.e._, Cardigan. {169e} Borrow alludes to his traverse of this region in a passage in _Wild Wales_ (chap. 93), where he says that “long subsequently” (to 1854) he found that these parts of Breconshire and Carmarthenshire contain some of the wildest solitudes and most romantic scenery in Wales. The “long subsequently,” however, was really not quite three years!
