Dorothy Wordsworth

Liever
had
he
at
his
bed's
head
Twenty
books
clothed
in
black
and
red.
They
were
baking
oat-bread,
which
they
cut
into
quarters,
and
half-baked
over
the
fire,
and
half-toasted
before
it.
There
was
a
suspiciousness
about
Mrs.
Otto,
almost
like
ill-nature;
she
was
very
jealous
of
any
inquiries
that
might
appear
to
be
made
with
the
faintest
idea
of
a
comparison
between
Leadhills
and
any
other
place,
except
the
advantage
was
evidently
on
the
side
of
Leadhills.
We
had
nice
honey
to
breakfast.
When
ready
to
depart,
we
learned
that
we
might
have
seen
the
library,
which
we
had
not
thought
of
till
it
was
too
late,
and
we
were
very
sorry
to
go
away
without
seeing
it.
Saturday,
August
20th.--Left
Leadhills
at
nine
o'clock,
regretting
much
that
we
could
not
stay
another
day,
that
we
might
have
made
more
minute
inquiries
respecting
the
manner
of
living
of
the
miners,
and
been
able
to
form
an
estimate,
from
our
own
observation,
of
the
degree
of
knowledge,
health,
and
comfort
that
there
was
among
them.
The
air
was
keen
and
cold;
we
might
have
supposed
it
to
be
three
months
later
in
the
season
and
two
hours
earlier
in
the
day.
The
landlady
had
not
lighted
us
a
fire;
so
I
was
obliged
to
get
myself
toasted
in
the
kitchen,
and
when
we
set
off
I
put
on
both
grey
cloak
and
spencer.
