Her ending wish was granted some years after, when peace was settled
between England and France. Nellie and her husband, the engineer, came
back to Wales and settled for a time in Merthyr, where they opened a
large inn, he following his profession in the mines, both he and his wife
roasting me unmercifully when I went to stay with them (a full-fledged
curate), on the assistance I had once rendered to the French prisoners in
a mining operation; but I hope all will understand that this assistance
was unintentional on my part, and that I greatly condemn the unpatriotic
conduct of the sisters.
