Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, Vol. 1 (of 2)

Dorothy Wordsworth
167
We
saw
the
castle
of
Dover,
and
the
sea
beyond,
four
or
five
miles
before
we
reached
it.
We
looked
at
it
through
a
long
vale,
the
castle
being
upon
an
eminence,
as
it
seemed,
at
the
end
of
this
vale,
which
opened
to
the
sea.
The
country
now
became
less
fertile,
but
near
Dover
it
seemed
more
rich
again.
Many
buildings
stand
on
the
flat
fields,
sheltered
with
tall
trees.
There
is
one
old
chapel
that
might
have
been
there
just
in
the
same
state
in
which
it
now
is
when
this
vale
was
as
retired,
and
as
little
known
to
travellers
as
our
own
Cumberland
mountain
wilds
thirty
years
ago.
There
was
also
a
very
old
building
on
the
other
side
of
the
road,
which
had
a
strange
effect
among
the
many
new
ones
that
are
springing
up
everywhere.
It
seemed
odd
that
it
could
have
kept
itself
pure
in
its
ancientry
among
so
many
upstarts.
It
was
near
dark
when
we
reached
Dover.
We
were
told
that
a
packet
was
about
to
sail,
so
we
went
down
to
the
custom-house
in
half-an-hour--had
our
luggage
examined,
etc.
etc.,
and
then
we
drank
tea
with
the
Honourable
Mr.
Knox
and
his
tutor.
We
arrived
at
Calais
at
four
o'clock
on
Sunday
morning,
the
31st
of
July.
We
stayed
in
the
vessel
till
half-past
seven;
then
William
went
for
letters
at
about
half-past
eight
or
nine.
