George Borrow,
Lavengro — Chapter 80
(1851)
“ We proceeded till we had nearly reached the brook. 'Well,' said Peter, 'will you go into Wales?''What should I do in Wales?' I demanded.'Do!' said Peter, smiling, 'learn Welsh.'I stopped my little pony. 'Then I need not go into Wales; I already know Welsh.''Know Welsh!' said Peter, staring at me.'Know Welsh!' said Winifred, stopping her cart.'How and when did you learn it?' said Peter.'From books, in my boyhood.''Read Welsh!' said Peter; 'is it possible?''Read Welsh!' said Winifred; 'is it possible?''Well, I hope you will come with us,' said Peter. ”
