Ruth Chapter 5 - In North Wales

In which a gloomy July day confines travellers indoors at a Welsh mountain inn, where Mr Bellingham and Ruth find reluctant lodging amid the damp and dreariness, and Ruth discovers a deep appreciation for the wild, changing beauty of the landscape. Amid gentle companionship and subdued conversation, she encounters a singularly gentle but deformed gentleman, whose kindly tales and quiet presence bring a rare brightness to her solitary wanderings.
