Passed
another
gentleman's
house,
which
stands
prettily
in
a
bay,[91]
and
soon
after
reached
Luss,
where
we
intended
to
lodge.
On
seeing
the
outside
of
the
inn
we
were
glad
that
we
were
to
have
such
pleasant
quarters.
It
is
a
nice-looking
white
house,
by
the
road-side;
but
there
was
not
much
promise
of
hospitality
when
we
stopped
at
the
door:
no
person
came
out
till
we
had
shouted
a
considerable
time.
A
barefooted
lass
showed
me
up-stairs,
and
again
my
hopes
revived;
the
house
was
clean
for
a
Scotch
inn,
and
the
view
very
pleasant
to
the
lake,
over
the
top
of
the
village--a
cluster
of
thatched
houses
among
trees,
with
a
large
chapel
in
the
midst
of
them.
Like
most
of
the
Scotch
kirks
which
we
had
seen,
this
building
resembles
a
big
house;
but
it
is
a
much
more
pleasing
building
than
they
generally
are,
and
has
one
of
our
rustic
belfries,
not
unlike
that
at
Ambleside,
with
two
bells
hanging
in
the
open
air.
We
chose
one
of
the
back
rooms
to
sit
in,
being
more
snug,
and
they
looked
upon
a
very
sweet
prospect--a
stream
tumbling
down
a
cleft
or
glen
on
the
hill-side,
rocky
coppice
ground,
a
rural
lane,
such
as
we
have
from
house
to
house
at
Grasmere,
and
a
few
out-houses.
We
had
a
poor
dinner,
and
sour
ale;
but
as
long
as
the
people
were
civil
we
were
contented.
