Had he escaped the upas taint of skepticism? An opportunity soon occurred to favor her wishes, for, chancing to allude to his visit to Rydal Mount, while in the lake region of England, the transition to a discussion of the metaphysical tone of the "Excursion" was quite easy. "You seemed disposed, like Howitt, to accord it the title of 'Bible of Quakerism," said Mr.

'But at night, after I hoped she was asleep, she sent nurse to say that she wanted to go to Rydal! to the same cottage by the Rotha we had stayed at on our honeymoon. Nurse said she could she could have an invalid-carriage from door to door. Would I write for the rooms at once? And Sandy could join us there. 'So, after nine years, we are here again. The house is empty. We have our old rooms.

And she wrote to Nelly Sarratt, just as she was departing northwards, to say cunningly that she was very tired and run down, and would Nelly come and look after her for a little? It was the first kindness she had ever asked of Nelly, to whom she had done so many. Nelly telegraphed in reply that in two days she would be at Rydal.

One of these leads to a little thatched arbour, where the poet often sat; below it, the ground falls very rapidly, among rocks and copse and fern, so that you look out on to the tree-tops below, and catch a glimpse of the steely waters of the hidden lake of Rydal. Wordsworth lived there for more than thirty years; and half a century has passed since he died.

In writing to Thompson, Spedding says of Tennyson on a certain occasion: “I could not get Alfred to Rydal Mount. But when we read the following foot-note by the biographer, “He said he did not wish to intrude himself on the great man at Rydal,” we accept the incident as another proof of thathumilitywhich the son alludes to in his preface as being one of his father’s characteristics.

The poet soon married his cousin Mary Hutchinson; and Lord Lonsdale, not satisfied with atoning for his predecessor's injustice, procured him, in the year of his migration to Rydal, the office of Distributor of Stamps for Westmoreland an office which was almost a sinecure, and was, for a man of Wordsworth's tastes, more than amply paid.

Dolores laughed triumphantly, with her arm about his shoulder. "I knew my dear old Peter too well for that," she exulted. "If I had told you, what a pretty mess we'd be in now, Peter! You would have insisted on calling Captain Rydal into our cabin and shooting him from the bed and then where would we have been? Don't you think I'm handling it pretty well, Peter dear?"

He talked enthusiastically of the girl he was going to marry, and Heath saw him off on the liner when Rydal got his leave and, full of glad anticipation, went away to bring out his wife. When the clergyman had reached this point in his story, he got up and paced the floor a couple of times, his monkish face sad and troubled, and his eyes full of the tragic revelations that had yet to be made.

Dolores, excited by the conviction that Blake would help her when he heard her story, still did not lose her caution. Rydal had given her another twenty-four hours, and that was all. In those twenty-four hours she must fight out their salvation, her own and Peter's. If Blake should fail

Such feuds, long after they are ripe for explosion, sometimes slumber on, until accident kindles them into flame. That accident was furnished by the tracts of the Puseyites, and since then, according to the word which I spoke on Rydal Water, there has been open war raging upon this very point.
