Dorothy Wordsworth

Monday,
15th
February.--It
snowed
a
good
deal,
and
was
terribly
cold.
After
dinner
it
was
fair,
but
I
was
obliged
to
run
all
the
way
to
the
foot
of
the
White
Moss,
to
get
the
least
bit
of
warmth
into
me.
I
found
a
letter
from
C.
He
was
much
better,
this
was
very
satisfactory,
but
his
letter
was
not
an
answer
to
Wm.'s
which
I
expected.
A
letter
from
Annette.
I
got
tea
when
I
reached
home,
and
then
set
on
reading
German.
I
wrote
part
of
a
letter
to
Coleridge,
went
to
bed
and
slept
badly.
Tuesday,
16th.--A
fine
morning,
but
I
had
persuaded
myself
not
to
expect
Wm.,
I
believe
because
I
was
afraid
of
being
disappointed.
I
ironed
all
day.
He
came
just
at
tea
time,
had
only
seen
Mary
H.
for
a
couple
of
hours
between
Eamont
Bridge
and
Hartshorn
Tree.
Mrs.
C.
better.
He
had
had
a
difficult
journey
over
Kirkstone,
and
came
home
by
Threlkeld.
We
spent
a
sweet
evening.
He
was
better,
had
altered
The
Pedlar.
We
went
to
bed
pretty
soon.
Mr.
Graham
said
he
wished
Wm.
had
been
with
him
the
other
day--he
was
riding
in
a
post-chaise
and
he
heard
a
strange
cry
that
he
could
not
understand,
the
sound
continued,
and
he
called
to
the
chaise
driver
to
stop.
It
was
a
little
girl
that
was
crying
as
if
her
heart
would
burst.
She
had
got
up
behind
the
chaise,
and
her
cloak
had
been
caught
by
the
wheel,
and
was
jammed
in,
and
it
hung
there.
She
was
crying
after
it,
poor
thing.
Mr.
Graham
took
her
into
the
chaise,
and
her
cloak
was
released
from
the
wheel,
but
the
child's
misery
did
not
cease,
for
her
cloak
was
torn
to
rags;
it
had
been
a
miserable
cloak
before,
but
she
had
no
other,
and
it
was
the
greatest
sorrow
that
could
befall
her.
Her
name
was
Alice
Fell.[51]
She
had
no
parents,
and
belonged
to
the
next
town.
At
the
next
town,
Mr.
G.
left
money
with
some
respectable
people
in
the
town,
to
buy
her
a
new
cloak.
