How Green Was My Valley - Defending Honor Amidst Community Accusations
Mrs. Beth Morgan:
I have come up here to tell you what I think of you all, because you are talking against my husband. You are a lot of cowards to go against him. He has done nothing against you and he never has and you know it well. How some of you, you smug-faced hypocrites, can sit in the same Chapel with him I cannot tell. To say he is with the owners is not only nonsense but downright wickedness. There's one thing more I've got to say and it is this. If harm comes to my Gwilym, I will find out the men and I will kill them with my two hands. And this I will swear by God Almighty.
Ianto Morgan:
We are not questioning your authority, sir, but if manners prevent our speaking the truth, we will be without manners.
