The legend of the devil throwing himself over a bridge is told of any natural arch spanning a great chasm. The most celebrated in the British Isles is on the Plynlimmon road, between Aberystwyth and Rhayader. A popular catch-phrase the latter part of last century was “ All serene," meaning “ All right ” or “ All’s well." Then came Sir Garnet Wolseley’s series of victories in Egypt, and popular fancy twisted the “ All serene" into “ All Sir Garnet.”
