-"If you don't eat your greens, we'll send you to Devil's Bridge." I was scared stiff of the place when I was a kid.
-How come? According to legend, it's where the devil was tricked by an old lady.
-One day, an old lady and her cow got separated. She was on one side of the river, the cow was on the other. While she was standing there wondering how to get it back, the devil appeared and offered to build her a bridge. But his price was the soul of the first living thing to cross it. She agreed. Next morning, bingo! There's a bridge. The devil says, "I've kept my promise, now you keep yours." The old lady took a loaf of bread out of her basket, threw it across the bridge and her dog ran after it.
-So the devil was tricked by an old lady.
-Yep. The devil was so embarrassed, he never set foot in Wales again.
-Some would say that he never left.

m what we can gather, she lived a quiet, frugal existence.
But who does she know? And more importantly, who might have a motive strong enough to want to hurt her so badly? Yes, sir.
I've already done a bit of homework on Helen Jenkins, sir.
She ran the Pontarfynach Children's Home from 1979 till it closed in '96.
It's now the Devil's Bridge Hotel, sir.
Devil's Bridge? On the A4120 out of Aber, sir.
It's about 20 minutes away to the southeast.
Hm.
It's as clear as day when you know what you're looking for.
