Dorothy Wordsworth
187
Walked
upon
the
city
walls,
which
are
broken
down
in
places
and
crumbling
away,
and
most
disgusting
from
filth.
The
city
and
neighbourhood
of
Carlisle
disappointed
me;
the
banks
of
the
river
quite
flat,
and,
though
the
holms
are
rich,
there
is
not
much
beauty
in
the
vale
from
the
want
of
trees--at
least
to
the
eye
of
a
person
coming
from
England,
and,
I
scarcely
know
how,
but
to
me
the
holms
had
not
a
natural
look;
there
was
something
townish
in
their
appearance,
a
dulness
in
their
strong
deep
green.
To
Longtown--not
very
interesting,
except
from
the
long
views
over
the
flat
country;
the
road
rough,
chiefly
newly
mended.
Reached
Longtown
after
sunset,
a
town
of
brick
houses
belonging
chiefly
to
the
Graham
family.
Being
in
the
form
of
a
cross
and
not
long,
it
had
been
better
called
Crosstown.
There
are
several
shops,
and
it
is
not
a
very
small
place;
but
I
could
not
meet
with
a
silver
thimble,
and
bought
a
half-penny
brass
one.
Slept
at
the
Graham's
Arms,
a
large
inn.
Here,
as
everywhere
else,
the
people
seemed
utterly
insensible
of
the
enormity
of
Hatfield's
offences;
the
ostler
told
William
that
he
was
quite
a
gentleman,
paid
every
one
genteelly,
etc.
etc.
He
and
"Mary"
had
walked
together
to
Gretna
Green;
a
heavy
rain
came
on
when
they
were
there;
a
returned
chaise
happened
to
pass,
and
the
driver
would
have
taken
them
up;
but
"Mr.
Hope's"
carriage
was
to
be
sent
for;
he
did
not
choose
to
accept
the
chaise-driver's
offer.
