Dorothy Wordsworth

At
our
return
to
the
stables
we
found
an
inferior
groom,
who
helped
William
to
yoke
the
horse,
and
was
very
civil.
We
grew
hungry
before
we
had
travelled
many
miles,
and
seeing
a
large
public-house--it
was
in
a
walled
court
some
yards
from
the
road--Coleridge
got
off
the
car
to
inquire
if
we
could
dine
there,
and
was
told
we
could
have
nothing
but
eggs.
It
was
a
miserable
place,
very
like
a
French
house;
indeed
we
observed,
in
almost
every
part
of
Scotland,
except
Edinburgh,
that
we
were
reminded
ten
times
of
France
and
Germany
for
once
of
England.
Saw
nothing
remarkable
after
leaving
Bothwell,
except
the
first
view
of
Glasgow,
at
some
miles
distance,
terminated
by
the
mountains
of
Loch
Lomond.
The
suburbs
of
Glasgow
extend
very
far,
houses
on
each
side
of
the
highway,--all
ugly,
and
the
inhabitants
dirty.
The
roads
are
very
wide;
and
everything
seems
to
tell
of
the
neighbourhood
of
a
large
town.
We
were
annoyed
by
carts
and
dirt,
and
the
road
was
full
of
people,
who
all
noticed
our
car
in
one
way
or
other;
the
children
often
sent
a
hooting
after
us.
