But
soon
we
came
to
just
such
a
place
as
we
had
wanted
to
see.
The
road
was
close
to
the
water,
and
a
hill,
bare,
rocky,
or
with
scattered
copses
rose
above
it.
A
deep
shade
hung
over
the
road,
where
some
little
boys
were
at
play;
we
expected
a
dwelling-house
of
some
sort;
and
when
we
came
nearer,
saw
three
or
four
thatched
huts
under
the
trees,
and
at
the
same
moment
felt
that
it
was
a
paradise.
We
had
before
seen
the
lake
only
as
one
wide
plain
of
water;
but
here
the
portion
of
it
which
we
saw
was
bounded
by
a
high
and
steep,
heathy
and
woody
island
opposite,
which
did
not
appear
like
an
island,
but
the
main
shore,
and
framed
out
a
little
oblong
lake
apparently
not
so
broad
as
Rydale-water,
with
one
small
island
covered
with
trees,
resembling
some
of
the
most
beautiful
of
the
holms
of
Windermere,
and
only
a
narrow
river's
breadth
from
the
shore.
This
was
a
place
where
we
should
have
liked
to
have
lived,
and
the
only
one
we
had
seen
near
Loch
Lomond.
How
delightful
to
have
a
little
shed
concealed
under
the
branches
of
the
fairy
island!
the
cottages
and
the
island
might
have
been
made
for
the
pleasure
of
each
other.
