"As far as I can remember, my father and I lived in a cottage in the parish of Llangovan, near the market town of Rhydcwm, in South Wales. Our house was not inaptly named Turnaside, for it stood alone in a wet, springy lane, where a passer-by was quite a sight to stare at..." (Beginning of Chapter 1.) Schuster and Engen 198.2b.
