There was nothing new on the lake, and no new impressions, as far as I can remember. At Ambleside, S and nurse went shopping, after which we took a carriage for Grasmere, and established ourselves at Brown's Hotel. I find that my impressions from our previous sight of all these scenes do not change on revision. They are very beautiful; but, if I must say it, I am a little weary of them.
She, meanwhile, pursued her way towards Ambleside, her thoughts much more occupied with the young couple than with her lost companion. The little thing was a beauty, certainly. Easy to see what had attracted William Farrell! An uncommon type and a very artistic type; none of your milk-maids. She supposed before long William would be proposing to draw her hm! with the husband away?
During these eight weary years Lady Lovel, for so she shall be called, lived in a small cottage about a mile from Keswick, on the road to Grassmere and Ambleside, which she rented from quarter to quarter.
She is not a person to be judged by her writings alone, but rather by her own deeds and life, than which nothing can be more exemplary or nobler. She seems to me the benefactress of Ambleside, yet takes no sort of credit to herself for her active and indefatigable philanthropy.
To Novar; back to Edinburgh and Kirklands, October 26th. Then to Abington on the 29th, and to Brougham amusing visit. I was asked to read Lord B.'s Memoirs, and dissuade him from publishing them. To Ambleside to see Harriet Martineau. Went over Old Park iron works. Home on November 11th. December 17th. We went to Chevening, and met there the Grotes, Milman, Lord Stanley, Scharf, and Hayward.
'RYDAL, AMBLESIDE: May 5th We arrived this afternoon. The day has been glorious.
Savine entitled charming little pieces. It proved good counsel, and two of the party passed a delightful week at Ambleside, where their sojourn was marred only by Mrs. Savine's laments that potatoes were not served at supper and breakfast.
In the Grasmere vale Wordsworth lived for half a century, first in a little cottage at the northern corner of the lake, and then in a more commodious house at Rydal Mount at the southern end, on the road to Ambleside. In 1802 he married Mary Hutchinson, of Penrith, and this completed the circle of his felicity.
We left the great inverted arch of the valley behind us, looking back as long as we could at Blencathra, and Skiddaw over its shoulder, and the clouds were gathering over them at our last glimpse. At Ambleside we took another car for Newby Bridge, whither we drove along the eastern shore of Windermere.
We returned, in the first place, to Ambleside, along the border of Grasmere Lake, which would be a pretty little piece of water, with its steep and high surrounding hills, were it not that a stubborn and straight-lined stone fence, running along the eastern shore, by the roadside, quite spoils its appearance.
