' You will drive yourself there, I suppose V said the hostler. * No, I will not ' — whereat he grinned. We trotted pleasantly through the Park, the road as smooth as a bowling-green. I was just adopting a favourable idea of the horse, when down he came. I was shot out upon his back, to roll on to the ground, where the driver was already sprawling. Upon floundering up, the horse presented two such broken knees as I never saw before or since. When I came bistck at the month's end, I went NORTH AN...D SOUTH WALES 169 to see the patient, and found him still laid up in the hands of the vet. I asked the hostler whether I was not right in having a driver, and how pos- sibly the horse came down on a perfectly level road. ' Well, sir,' he said, ' he had lately done a goodish bit of work.' Yet he would have let me take him through WaIcs, and no doubt, when I brought him back broken-kneed, would have sought to fleece me for blemishing a sound and safe horse. This tumble in Eaton Park upset my plans, so I chanced hiring gigs from stage to stage as far only as RhyL Passing through the beautifrd vale of Clwyd, I asked the driver what was the name of the mountain which first caught my eye, when he told me it was Moel Fammau, which meant the ' Mother of Mountains.' I thought how very far the native Welsh beat Byron's ' Monarch of Moun- tains.' Rhyl is now, I understand, a thriving, populous, almost fashionable place of resort ; the wonder is, that with beautiful sites all around, this ever came to pass.
