The significance of the "Lonely Shepherd" mentioned in the passage was that he gave the hikers shelter in his hut
it was the name of the mountain the hikers climbed
the hikers had a marvellous view from it
it was a very steep climb
it was named after a local shepherd
We understand from the passage that the hikers ate their lunch on the banks of the Brecon Canal
in a shepherd's hut where they sheltered from the rain
in the valley on the way back to their camp
on the summit of the hill they climbed
very hastily in order not to be late
In the end, the hikers arrived at a hut, where they found a warm fire and a hot drink
had to continue their walk despite the rain
decided to wait until the torrential rain was over
made a fire in the forest to dry their wet clothes
were caught in a thunderstorm while still on the summit
73 FAKE ART The art world is flooded with forgeries, it has been estimated that only about half of the 600 works supposedly painted by Rembrandt are genuine. No great artist, past or present, has been safe from having his or her work copied by a counterfeiter, and some of the fakes have been so deceptive that only experts have been able to discover them. The number of fake paintings hanging in the world's museums will probably never be known because the museums fear for their reputations if it is learnt that they harbour counterfeit "masterpieces". Many museum curators now will accept a painting only after the most careful analysis and testing of its authenticity. The falsifying of paintings and sculpture has been occurring since ancient times. Occasionally people have knowingly purchased copies of art. Wealthy Romans, for instance, demanded and received copies of famous Greek statues. But in the 20th century, the market for fake art sold as being authentic has become very profitable, since artworks are now bought as investments for private collections.
