Excerpt from The Valley of a Hundred Fires, Vol. 1 of 3 "'Tis never woman's part, Out of her fond misgivings, to perplex The fortunes of the man to whom she cleaves; 'Tis her's to weave all that she has of fair And bright in the dark meshes of their web, Inseparate from their windings." - Talfourd. On the 23rd of April, fifty-four years ago, the heavy old Bristol coach was preparing its freight of passengers and luggage, previous to starting on its weekly journey into Wales.
