Gethin reflects on his troubled past with his father, which led to his departure from home, and the emotional connections he maintains, especially with the young Morva, who was fond of him as a child. The narrative then transitions to the homestead, where Morva is depicted as a lively and hardworking girl, loved by all at Garthowen.
