satisfied husband. The screams of the chief prevented an
explanation. The husband and wife looked out, and found
the chief seated on the horse, glued by his hand to the wall,
and the steed cropping the grass, and gradually retreating
from under him, like Don Quixote's adventure at the inn.
The prayers of the holy couple released the chief, and he
largely endowed Efflam with lands in gratitude, and promised
not to disturb Honora with his attentions for the future.
Efflam built his wife a cell at a little distance from his own.
After some years, hearing of the virtues of the inhabitants of
Llannenock, she went there, and was received by S. Nen-
nocha with great warmth. She died in that community, and
is regarded as a saint, and is invoked in fevers.
S. Efflam and his community ate nothing on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays. On the other days an angel
brought them excellent viands from Paradise, and spread
their table for them on the grass.
After some time a priest named Gestin appeared at the
cell door and claimed the hovel. He had built and inhabited
it, but had deserted it when he went on a pilgrimage to
Rome. Efflam offered to remove, but when Gestin saw how
virtuous he was, he declined to reoccupy his old cabin. An
angel appeared and ordered Efflam to remain in possession,
and Gestin to retire to the adjoining forest. The parish is
called after him Plou-Gestin, contracted into Plestin.
After having served God well in his hermitage, Efflam
died, on November 6th, at the close of the sixth century.
He is represented in royal habits, treading on a dragon.
The tomb of S. Efflam, constructed in the fourteenth or
fifteenth century, was opened in 1819, but no traces of the
body were found. All that was discovered was a stone with
an incised hatchet on it, a little copper cross, and some bits
of sea-wrack.
