Richard Llewellyn Quote
She is a slut, I said, because she went up on the mountain with a man, instead of to bed with her husband. Is it, Dada?My father was quiet for a little, with his back to me, looking down into the Valley. Yes, my father said. That is why she is a slut.Then what is Chris Phillips, then? I asked. He did very wrong, said my father, but there was no body in his voice. Mr. Gruffydd will have a word with him.But not in front of all the people, I said. If Meillyn Lewis is a slut, Chris Phillips is a coward. And I know which of them is the worst.
