The eighth chapter is exceedingly brief, and relates that Gibbons, the amateur naturalist of the district, while lying out on the spacious open downs without a soul within a couple of miles of him, as he thought, and almost dozing, heard close to him the sound as of a man coughing, sneezing, and then swearing savagely to himself; and looking, beheld nothing.
Mae'r bennod wythfed hynod gryno, ac yn ymwneud bod Gibbons, y amatur naturiaethwr o'r ardal, tra'n gorwedd allan ar y isafbwyntiau eang agored heb enaid o fewn ychydig filltiroedd o ef, gan ei fod meddwl, a bron dozing, clywodd agos ato fel sain o ddyn peswch, tisian, ac yna rhegi ffyrnig iddo ef ei hun, ac yn edrych, edrychais dim byd.QED QED
