Other friends the Speddings, the Arnolds at Fox How, the Davys at Ambleside, the Fletchers at Lancrigg formed a delightful circle, all within tolerably easy reach, and affording a haven of kind and nourishing companionship. But, for a thinker upon the practical aspects of political and social science, it was all too far from Labour in the deep mid-ocean, wind and wave and oar.
She summoned smiles, altering her position a little, and drawing a wrap round her. The delicate arm was no longer within his reach. And restlessly she began to talk of other things the conscientious objectors of the morning Zeppelins a recruiting meeting at Ambleside.
After dinner we ordered a car for Ambleside, and while it was getting ready, I went to look at the river of St. John, which, indeed, flows close beside our inn, only just across the road, though it might well be overlooked unless you specially sought for it. It is a brook brawling over the stones, very much as brooks do in New England, only we never think of calling them rivers there.
Then Ian lifted a book full of illustrations of the English lake district, and they sat down on the sofa to examine it. Ian had once been at Keswick and Ambleside, and he began to tell her about Lake Windemere and these lovely villages.
'He has several commissions people not far from here, said Mrs. Fenwick, hurriedly. 'And if the weather's too bad, we can always go to rooms in Kendal or Ambleside. 'Well, if that's what you're thinking of, my dear, you'd better make a clerk of him at once and have done with it! He told me his uncle would always find him work in the upholstery business.

Grasmere Village is a short walk from Rydal, and only four miles from Ambleside. Wordsworth lived here for eight years, at a small house at Town End; here he wrote many of his never-dying poems; to this spot be brought his newly-wedded wife in 1822; and in the burial ground of the parish church are interred his mortal remains.
I shall never forget how ye lay about that night, like an intrenchment; gone to bed, as it seemed, for the night." They tarried there one night, and met Lloyd. They clambered up to the top of Skiddaw, "and went to Grassmere, Ambleside, Ullswater, and over the middle of Helvellyn." Coleridge then dwelt upon a small hill by the side of Keswick, quite "enveloped on all sides by a net of mountains."
'You stopped at Whinborough, intending to take the pass over to Ullswater, thence to make your way to Ambleside and Keswick or was it to Keswick and Ambleside? She looked up innocently. But the flashing glance she met abashed her again. 'Taquine! he said, 'but you shall not laugh me out of countenance. If I said all that to you just now, may I be forgiven.
He was looked up to and made much of in the village whenever he condescended to appear there; and by the rareness of his visits to the Inn or the Reading-room, and his unwillingness to accept hospitality from the tradesmen of Grasmere and Ambleside, he maintained his dignity and exaggerated his importance.
And often, when she saw the father and child together, a fresh and ugly misery would raise its head. Would he in time set even Carrie against her teach the child to look down upon its mother? One day he returned from Ambleside, pale and excited bringing a Manchester paper. 'Phoebe! he called, from the gate. Startled by something in his voice, Phoebe ran out to him.
