Witch Conjures Up A Storm (Folk Tale)
Author: Tom Slemen Source: BBC News
Title: WITCH CONJURES UP A STORM
In 1857, Horace Pym, the 20-year-old son of Sir Walter Pym, a wealthy landowner and ruthless businessman, left his family's sprawling mansion on the outskirts of St Asaph.
He was out riding when he spotted a beautiful Welsh girl named Megan who was standing on a hill, throwing corn to the birds. Horace Pym rode up to Megan. He told the girl he was the son of Sir Walter, but the girl could hardly understand English.
Horace thought she was ignoring him, and raised his hand to the girl. Megan flinched, but Horace didn't hit her. He enjoyed the way the girl looked so afraid of him and relished the moment. The girl cried out something in Welsh, and a bird of prey that resembled a falcon swooped down and attacked the young man. Horace fell to the ground and rolled down the hill.

of someone who got what he richly deserved. He assaulted her, then tried to persecute her further when he got the worst end of the deal instead of leaving well enough alone, and she really let him have it. I loved it!

he started it! He never should have attempted to hit the girl - she wasn't bothering him. He got what he richly deserved.
Love to all
