Excerpt from Debenham's Vow, Vol. 1 of 3 In a tiny way-side inn at the head of one of the wildest passes of the Snowdon range, a traveller lay dying. An invalid on his first arrival there some six or eight weeks before, he had been slowly fading ever since, and now, towards dusk, to the low wailing of the wind and the soft incessant patter of the rain, was passively drifting away. His wife sat by his pillow, as she had been sitting since mid-day, listening in an agony of apprehension for his every breath. His child, a tall pale boy of some eight years of age, lay coiled in a big arm-chair beside the half-opened window, watching the changing mists and thickening twilight. Neither spoke. In the house all was silent. There were no drovers at the tap, no wayfarers in the parlour, no wheels upon the road.
