Dorothy Wordsworth

It
was
four
o'clock
when
we
reached
the
place
where
the
car
was
waiting.
We
were
anxious
to
be
off,
as
we
had
fifteen
miles
to
go;
but
just
as
we
were
seating
ourselves
we
found
that
the
cushions
were
missing.
William
was
forced
to
go
back
to
the
town,
a
mile
at
least,
and
Coleridge
and
I
waited
with
the
car.
It
rained,
and
we
had
some
fear
that
the
evening
would
be
wet,
but
the
rain
soon
ceased,
though
the
sky
continued
gloomy--an
unfortunate
circumstance,
for
we
had
to
travel
through
a
beautiful
country,
and
of
that
sort
which
is
most
set
off
by
sunshine
and
pleasant
weather.
Travelled
through
the
Vale
or
Trough
of
the
Clyde,
as
it
is
called,
for
ten
or
eleven
miles,
having
the
river
on
our
right.
We
had
fine
views
both
up
and
down
the
river
for
the
first
three
or
four
miles,
our
road
being
not
close
to
it,
but
above
its
banks,
along
the
open
country,
which
was
here
occasionally
intersected
by
hedgerows.
Left
our
car
in
the
road,
and
turned
down
a
field
to
the
Fall
of
Stonebyres,
another
of
the
falls
of
the
Clyde,
which
I
had
not
heard
spoken
of;
therefore
it
gave
me
the
more
pleasure.
We
saw
it
from
the
top
of
the
bank
of
the
river
at
a
little
distance.
It
has
not
the
imposing
majesty
of
Cora
Linn;
but
it
has
the
advantage
of
being
left
to
itself,
a
grand
solitude
in
the
heart
of
a
populous
country.
We
had
a
prospect
above
and
below
it,
of
cultivated
grounds,
with
hay-stacks,
houses,
hills;
but
the
river's
banks
were
lonesome,
steep,
and
woody,
with
rocks
near
the
fall.
