A Comedy of Welsh Life in Two Scenes, by J. Saunders Lewis.
Scene I: A Welsh Farm-house. Late afternoon.
Scene II: The same. Half an hour before Midnight
Time: St. John's Eve, some early year of the last century

Sara Morris, wife of a prosperous farmer, is anxious to arrange a match between her only daughter, Megan, and Harri Richard, a neighbouring farmer. Megan is romantic and recalls how her friend married a shipwrecked sailor who sheltered at her house and who had a goodly sum of money awaiting him. Megan believes that if she lays a meat for the Devil at midnight on the Eve of Saint John, he will come and show her her future husband. If the night passes without incident, she promises to marry Harri Richard.
Note: The author of the play states that the practice of conjuring was frequent in Wales up to the early years of the last century.
