Darts with the Boys by WILLIAM INGRAM
Gwyn feels a misfit at university, abandons it and returns to his mining village in the Rhondda where he is visited by an upper-class ex-fellow student. The feeling is that the villagers will find the stranger alien and that Gwyn will have proved himself right to have returned to his roots. But the visitor is a success in the community and it is Gwyn who, even at home, proves to be out of place.
