It is so comfortable with Mrs. Conisbee, and for the short remaining time Christmas, I should think, would be a very good time for opening. If it were possible to decide upon dear old Clevedon, of course we should prefer it; but perhaps Weston will offer more scope. Alice will weigh all the arguments on the spot. Don't you envy her, Monica? Think of being there in this summer weather!
The neighbouring mansion of Hestercombe, once the possession of the Warres, but now belonging to the Portmans, is said to preserve a sword taken by one of the Warres from King John of France at Poitiers. Kingston Seymour is a village about 2 m. W. of Yatton, with a halt on the Clevedon and Weston light railway.
After fidgeting with his feet, he suddenly took a stiff position, and said in a louder voice 'We are going to leave London altogether. I have decided to take a house at my wife's native place, Clevedon. Her sisters will come and live with us. 'That is a recent decision, Mr. Widdowson? 'I have thought about it for some time. London doesn't suit Monica's health; I'm sure it doesn't.
Coleridge being now comfortably settled at Clevedon, I shall there for the present leave him to write verses on his beloved Sarah, while in the mean time, I introduce the reader to an ingenious young barrister whom I had known some years previously under the following peculiar circumstances.
Far to the north-west, we could see the cliffs of the Devonshire coast; to the north-east the islands of Steep Holm and Flat Holm rose from the Severn Sea; and around the point beyond them, in the little churchyard of Clevedon, I knew that the dust of Arthur Henry Hallam, whose friendship Tennyson has immortalized in "In Memoriam," was sleeping
It might be reckoned to him for righteousness that he spent the railway fare between Cheltenham and Clevedon to attend his brother's funeral, and to speak a kind word to his nieces.

From Richmond in Yorkshire, in reply to a letter from Alice, wrote an old, old aunt of the late Mrs.

If ever the consciousness of great powers and the assurance of a great future inspired a youth with perfect and on the whole well-warranted fearlessness of ridicule it has surely done so here. Poetry alone, however, formed no sufficient outlet for Coleridge's still fresh political enthusiasm an enthusiasm which now became too importunate to let him rest in his quiet Clevedon cottage.
To-morrow morning we are going down into Somerset, to Clevedon, to find a house. 'I thought you had given up that idea. 'Whether I had or not doesn't matter. In the determination to appear, and be, energetic, he spoke with a rough obstinacy, a doggedness that now and then became violence. 'I am decided on it now. There's a train to Bristol at ten-twenty.
About ten o'clock Monica was joined by her husband in the drawing-room. 'I have almost made up my mind, he said, standing near her, 'to take a serious step. As you have always spoken with pleasure of your old home, Clevedon, suppose we give up this house and go and live there? 'It is for you to decide. 'I want to know whether you would have any objection. 'I shall do as you wish.
