Never did any lady have more wit than she , and in her youth none was more lovely ; even yet she is good to look upon . ' ` Thou art the best friend that ever a man had , ' said Manawyddan . ` Let us go now to seek Rhiannon , and the lands where she dwells . ' Then they set forth , but the news of their coming ran swifter still , and Rhiannon and Kieva , wife of Pryderi , made haste to prepare a feast for them . And Manawyddan found that Pryderi had spoken the truth concerning his mother , and asked if she would take him for her husband . Right gladly did she consent , and without delay they were married , and rode away to the hunt , Rhiannon and Manawyddan , Kieva and Pryderi , and they would not be parted from each other by night or by day , so great was the love between them . One day , when they were returned , they were sitting out in a green place , and suddenly the crash of thunder struck loudly on their ears , and a wall of mist fell between them , so that they were hidden one from the other . Trembling they sat till the darkness fled and the light shone again upon them , but in the place where they were wont to see cattle , and herds , and dwellings , they beheld neither house nor beast , nor man nor smoke ; neither was any one remaining in the green place save these four only . ` Whither have they gone , and my host also ? ' cried Manawyddan , and they searched the hall , and there was no man , and the castle , and there was none , and in the dwellings that were left was nothing save wild beasts . For a year these four fed on the meat that Manawyddan and Pryderi killed out hunting , and the honey of the bees that sucked the mountain heather . For a time they desired nothing more , but when the next year began they grew weary . ` We can not spend our lives thus , ' said Manawyddan at last , ` let us go into England and learn some trade by which we may live . ' So they left Wales , and went to Hereford , and there they made saddles , while Manawyddan fashioned blue enamel ornaments to put on their trappings . And so greatly did the townsfolk love these saddles , that no others were bought throughout the whole of Hereford , till the saddlers banded together and resolved to slay Manawyddan and his companions . When Pryderi heard of it , he was very wroth , and wished to stay and fight . But the counsels of Manawyddan prevailed , and they moved by night to another city . ` What craft shall we follow ? ' asked Pryderi . ` We will make shields , ' answered Manawyddan .
` But do we know anything XXXXX that craft ? '
