Dorothy Wordsworth

Dined,
and
left
Glasgow
at
about
three
o'clock,
in
a
heavy
rain.
We
were
obliged
to
ride
through
the
streets
to
keep
our
feet
dry,
and,
in
spite
of
the
rain,
every
person
as
we
went
along
stayed
his
steps
to
look
at
us;
indeed,
we
had
the
pleasure
of
spreading
smiles
from
one
end
of
Glasgow
to
the
other--for
we
travelled
the
whole
length
of
the
town.
A
set
of
schoolboys,
perhaps
there
might
be
eight,
with
satchels
over
their
shoulders,
and,
except
one
or
two,
without
shoes
and
stockings,
yet
very
well
dressed
in
jackets
and
trousers,
like
gentlemen's
children,
followed
us
in
great
delight,
admiring
the
car
and
longing
to
jump
up.
At
last,
though
we
were
seated,
they
made
several
attempts
to
get
on
behind;
and
they
looked
so
pretty
and
wild,
and
at
the
same
time
so
modest,
that
we
wished
to
give
them
a
ride,
and
there
being
a
little
hill
near
the
end
of
the
town,
we
got
off,
and
four
of
them
who
still
remained,
the
rest
having
dropped
into
their
homes
by
the
way,
took
our
places;
and
indeed
I
would
have
walked
two
miles
willingly,
to
have
had
the
pleasure
of
seeing
them
so
happy.
When
they
were
to
ride
no
longer,
they
scampered
away,
laughing
and
rejoicing.
New
houses
are
rising
up
in
great
numbers
round
Glasgow,
citizen-like
houses,
and
new
plantations,
chiefly
of
fir;
the
fields
are
frequently
enclosed
by
hedgerows,
but
there
is
no
richness,
nor
any
particular
beauty
for
some
miles.
