A
little
above
Dacre
we
came
into
the
right
road
to
Mr.
Clarkson's,
after
having
walked
through
woods
and
fields,
never
exactly
knowing
whether
we
were
right
or
wrong.
We
learnt,
however,
that
we
had
saved
half-a-mile.
We
sate
down
by
the
river-side
to
rest,
and
saw
some
swallows
flying
about
and
under
the
bridge,
and
two
little
schoolboys
were
loitering
among
the
scars
seeking
after
their
nests.
We
reached
Mr.
Clarkson's
at
about
eight
o'clock
after
a
sauntering
walk,
having
lingered
and
loitered
and
sate
down
together
that
we
might
be
alone.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
C.
were
just
come
from
Luff's.
We
spent
Tuesday,
the
13th
of
July,
at
Eusemere;
and
on
Wednesday
morning,
the
14th,
we
walked
to
Emont
Bridge,
and
mounted
the
coach
between
Bird's
Nest
and
Hartshorn
Tree....
At
Greta
Bridge
the
sun
shone
cheerfully,
and
a
glorious
ride
we
had
over
Gaterly
Moor.
Every
building
was
bathed
in
golden
light.
The
trees
were
more
bright
than
earthly
trees,
and
we
saw
round
us
miles
beyond
miles--Darlington
spire,
etc.
etc.
We
reached
Leeming
Lane
at
about
nine
o'clock:
supped
comfortably,
and
enjoyed
our
fire.
