The same night Huw meets up with Gruffyd, who says that not only is Angharad coming over to Patagonia, but she is bringing Bronwyn, too. Later, Huw's horse has its tongue cut out and a witness claims it was Nelya Penninah accompanied by a mysterious figure. Mumpo wants to have Huw thrown out of the valley.

Nelya Penninah tries to entice Huw by coming to his house needing help, but it turns out to be a trap and Matti Mumpo (her father, and one of the Twelve) bursts into the house. The town is ravaged by a storm and flooding. They find Huw innocent of the charges put against him but the votes were not unanimous. After threatening a farmer who Huw thought was trying to con him over the sale of his farm, Huw is summoned to appear before The Twelve. Huw finds himself clashing with The Twelve and his progress in buying land for a farm impeded. Setting up a workshop elsewhere, Huw is reconciled with Lal and they talk of marriage, though Lal wants her share of the family farm agreeing first. When Huw refuses to marry her, Gwyn throws him out of her house. Lal becomes distant with him and Gwyn expects marriage. As time passes, Huw encounters similar prejudices as those found at home from the religious elders of the city, known as 'The Twelve'.ĭespite being in love with Lal, he begins a sexual relationship with Gwyn. She is hesitant to marry him and her violent father, Vrann, has plans to marry her off to other farmers to get their land. Huw meets the Corwen family, consisting of a widowed man with three daughters, the eldest of whom, Lal, Huw falls in love with. Settling in the City of Lewis, Huw sets up a workshop, funded by his landlady, Widow Gwyn, and has success making furniture and fittings for houses.

Leaving South Wales, Huw travels to Liverpool where he boards the ship Geraint and travels to the Welsh-speaking colony of Patagonia. The novel tells the story of Huw Morgan's emigration to Patagonia.
