Houseman

Bryn Llewelyn is a newcomer to the Prichard Household

But he has already become a very useful and popular member of the Colonel’s staff. Having suffered many hardships and grief, he is determined to make a new life for himself and to support his three children as well as he can. By good fortune, his cousin Caradog (who is well known to Edward Prichard, having been village constable last year and Sexton at Gelligaer Church), recommended him for a place as houseman, the previous holder of this post having joined Charles Gerard’s Regiment of Foot after a somewhat drunken night in a Cardiff tavern. Bryn Llewelyn is a man of sobriety and of Godly thought, therefore not likely to fall into such traps.

Having been married twice and still, to some degree, grieving for his last wife, he is in no hurry to marry again and whilst his children are being well cared for by his mother in Newport, he sees no need for further attachment…much to the chagrin of some of the village maidens, who see him as quite a good catch! And possibly Hannah Saer, who always has an eye for a well turned calf! But perhaps the thought of a ready- made family may not be so appealing for her. Who knows what the future might bring…
