ABSTRACT
Amy returns downstairs to explain the position to the warden of the hall who is becoming increasingly more anxious and impatient. The warden greets Amy's story with incredulity. The warden sees no case for the Welsh language being employed formally within the institution. Her unexpressed view is that English is the language of the majority and also the true language of learning. Even if she were to admit some legitimacy to Enid's standpoint, now is not the time to insist upon it. She accompanies Amy back upstairs to put these points to Enid. Enid refuses to acknowledge her presence. The warden's arguments fall on deaf ears. The situation reaches an impasse because Enid is determined that her assumed rights be respected.
