What a din!" said Bessie, stopping her ears and looking for her comrade. That strange child was just opening a pair of sleepy eyes and exhorting herself by name: "Now, Miss Janey Fricker, you will be wise to get up without more thinking about it, or there will be a bad mark and an imposition for you, my dear. What a blessing! five dull days yet before the arrival of the tormentors!"
Then an inexpressible flatness fell upon Bessie, and she would probably have wept in earnest, but for the sight of Janey Fricker standing aloof and gazing at her wistfully for an invitation to draw near. Somebody to succor was quite in Bessie's way; helpless, timid things felt safe under covert of her wing.
And so they planned packing up and away to America to found an Ideal Community on the banks of the Susquehanna. But hold! a society without women is founded on a false hypothesis that's so what to do? Now in America there are no women but Indian squaws. But resource did not fail them Southey thought of the Fricker family, a mile out on the Bristol road.
Coleridge made his engagement with Miss Fricker, on our return from this journey, at my mother's house in Bath; not a little to my astonishment, for he had talked of being deeply in love with a certain Mary Evans. I had been previously engaged to her sister, my poor Edith! whom it would make your heart ache to see at this time! We remained at Bristol till the close of the vacation; several weeks.
What more natural than that he should call upon Madame Fournier at her uncle the canon's house? and what more simple than that he should mention having met the English belle and her cousin of the dangerous sex? Bessie Fairfax and Janey Fricker attended vespers regularly on Sunday afternoons at the church of St.
She went over the terrors of her first coming to Caen, the dinner at Thunby's, and the weird talk of Janey Fricker in the dortoir, till melancholy overwhelmed her. Where was Janey? Was she still sailing with her father? No news of her had ever come to the Rue St. Jean since the day she left it. It sometimes crossed Bessie's mind that Janey was no longer in the land of the living.
Janey left six lines of hasty, tender adieu with Miss Foster for her friend, but no address. She only said that she was "Going to sail with father." For days, weeks, months the memory of lost Janey Fricker haunted Bessie Fairfax with a sweet melancholy. She missed her little friend exceedingly.
The Wordsworths were the originals of the Lake coterie, as we have seen. Born at Cockermouth, and a pupil at the Hawkeshead school, Wordsworth was looking homewards when he settled in the District. The others came in consequence. Coleridge brought his family to Greta Hall, near Keswick; and with them came Mrs. Lovell, one of the three Misses Fricker, of whom Coleridge and Southey had married two.
Wordsworth, Lyrical Ballads Mr. Wordsworth caballed against Disasters attending a dinner with Mr. Wordsworth Mr. Coleridge and Mr. Wordsworth depart for Germany Mr. Coleridge's character of Mr. Southey Mr. Southey marries Miss Edith Fricker Three letters of Mr. Southey, from Falmouth and Portugal Sundry letters from Mr. Southey to Joseph Cottle George Dyer, and a ludicrous incident Mr.
Janey Fricker suffered with her, and for nearly a week they were all en penitence. Then Miss Foster came; madame vanished without leave-taking, as if liable to reappear at any instant, and lessons lapsed back into leisure.
