Dorothy Wordsworth

In
1822,
Dorothy
Wordsworth
went
with
Joanna
Hutchinson
to
Scotland,
for
change
of
air
and
scene.
She
wrote
of
this
journey:--
"I
had
for
years
promised
Joanna
to
go
with
her
to
Edinburgh--that
was
her
object;
but
we
planned
a
little
tour,
up
the
Forth
to
Stirling,
thence
by
track-boat
to
Glasgow;
from
Dumbarton
to
Rob
Roy's
cave
by
steam;
stopping
at
Tarbet;
thence
in
a
cart
to
Inverary;
back
again
to
Glasgow,
down
Loch
Fyne,
and
up
the
Clyde;
thence
on
the
coach
to
Lanark;
and
from
Lanark
to
Moffat
in
a
cart.
There
we
stopped
two
days,
my
companion
being
an
invalid;
and
she
fancied
the
waters
might
cure
her,
but
a
bathing-place
which
nobody
frequents
is
never
in
order;
and
we
were
glad
to
leave
Moffat,
crossing
the
wild
country
again
in
a
cart,
to
the
banks
of
the
river
Esk.
We
returned
to
Edinburgh
for
the
sake
of
warm
baths.
We
were
three
weeks
in
lodgings
at
Edinburgh.
Joanna
had
much
of
that
sort
of
pleasure
which
one
has
in
first
seeing
a
foreign
country;
and
in
our
travels,
whether
on
the
outside
of
a
coach,
on
the
deck
of
a
steamboat,
or
in
whatever
way
we
got
forward,
she
was
always
cheerful,
never
complaining
of
bad
fare,
bad
inns,
or
anything
else...."
It
was
a
short
excursion,
but
was
memorialised
in
the
usual
way
by
Dorothy's
ever
ready
pen.
