A Comedy in One Act by J. O. Francis
Played by the Trecynon Amateur Dramatic Society
Scene: The living-room of a cottage on a Welsh countryside.

Twmas Shon, the poacher, has been converted, and is now tasting the fruits of a pious life. With the goal before him, at some distant date, of a place on the Rural District Council, he was proof against the blandishments of his former accomplice, Dicky Bach Dwl, the half-witted lad who worshipped the man who had been stolen from him.
One thing, however, was a sore temptation to Twmas Shon, and caused him to baulk even at the immediate prospects of taking high office with the Band of Hope. It was not the saving of butchers' bills by means of a few trapped rabbits, nor the thought of the dark river, the torch, and the raised spear awaiting the appearing salmon. It was the instinct of sport within him kindling him to the hunt of the wily rabbit, 'Old Soldier'. who had eluded capture week after week by every lag in the village.
