He saw my father while he was still sensible, and never quitted him till the awful moment was past I will not now dwell on particulars. My mind is not sufficiently recovered to enter on the subject, and you could only be distressed by it. He returns soon to Margate to pay the last duties in the manner desired by my father.
Thornton of Margate records the case of a lady in whom the hair of the left eyebrow and eyelashes began to turn white after a fortnight of sudden grief, and within a week all the hair of these regions was quite white and remained so. No other part was affected nor was there any other symptom.
She wore on her shoulders or rather on her back and not her shoulders, which it scarcely passed a French coat of sarsenet, tied in front with Margate braces, and of the same colour with her violet shoes. About her face clustered a disorder of dark ringlets, a little garland of yellow French roses surmounted her brow, and the whole was crowned by a village hat of chipped straw.
'I find I cannot exist without Poetry, without eternal Poetry; half the day will not do, the whole of it; I began with a little, but habit has made me a leviathan. He tells Leigh Hunt, in a letter written from Margate, that he thought so much about poetry, and 'so long together, that he could not get to sleep at night.
Cissy Will be furious: she'll come back from Margate just to keep up her father's anger against me. If you could let me stay here just a short time, Mrs. Mumford; just a few weeks I should so like to be married from your house. The listener trembled with irritation, and before she could command her voice Louise added eagerly: 'Of course, when we're married, Mr. Bowling will pay all my debts.

Only if we all did, it would become the thing to do, and we'd soon get turned out of there by successful swindlers.
The steamers did it less good at first than they did to Margate; but the completion of the two railways, and the building of the handsome extensions on the east and west cliffs, turned it at once into a frequented watering-place. It is the fashion nowadays rather to laugh at Ramsgate. Marine painters know better.
This circumstance alarmed me exceedingly, and I began to think it was impossible for me to escape with my life; but recovering a little, I once more looked down upon the earth, when, to my inexpressible joy, I saw Margate at a little distance, and the eagle descending on the old tower whence it had carried me on the morning of the day before.
