When Coleridge came back and heard what his wife had done, he reproved her gently but firmly. Mrs. Ajax in a pencil-factory wearing a check apron with a bib! huh!! Southey had concluded that if Coleridge and Lovell were good samples of socialism he would stick to individualism.
All visitors at Keswick go to the pencil-factory and buy pencils, such as Southey used, and get their names stamped on each pencil while they wait, without extra charge.
At Keswick, where the water comes down at Lodore, there is a pencil-factory that has been there since the days of William the Conqueror. The wife of Coleridge used to work there and get money that supported her philosopher-husband and their children.
The good old man who now keeps the pencil-factory explained these things to me, and also explained the direct relationship of good lead-pencils to literature, but I do not remember what it was. If Henry Thoreau had held on a few years, until the pilgrims began to arrive at Concord, he could have gotten rich selling souvenir pencils.
