Beverley's new house was not, of course, on the map. But the church of Fablan Fawr was clearly shown. With his thin old hand the stranger pointed to a place on the map. He spoke again in Welsh, then pointed again. `He is telling me that we are here,' said Giles to himself. Then the old man pointed out the path that Giles must take to reach Fablan Fawr. He did this three times, to make sure that Giles understood. Then he pushed the map into Giles's hands. Giles tried to refuse this gift, but the old man only laughed and smiled. Giles thanked him warmly and pushed the map into his coat pocket. Then he set out along the path that the old man had shown him. After a few steps he turned. He saw a shape through the mist, standing and watching him. He waved his hand and set off again. The next time he turned round, the old man had disappeared.
