Dorothy Wordsworth

After
tea
William
and
I
walked
out;
we
amused
ourselves
with
watching
the
Highlanders
at
work:
they
went
leisurely
about
everything,
and
whatever
was
to
be
done,
all
followed,
old
men,
and
young,
and
little
children.
We
were
driven
into
the
house
by
a
shower,
which
came
on
with
the
evening
darkness,
and
the
people
leaving
their
work
paused
at
the
same
time.
I
was
pleased
to
see
them
a
while
after
sitting
round
a
blazing
fire
in
the
kitchen,
father
and
son-in-law,
master
and
man,
and
the
mother
with
her
little
child
on
her
knee.
When
I
had
been
there
before
tea
I
had
observed
what
a
contrast
there
was
between
the
mistress
and
her
kitchen;
she
did
not
differ
in
appearance
from
an
English
country
lady;
but
her
kitchen,
roof,
walls,
and
floor
of
mud,
was
all
black
alike;
yet
now,
with
the
light
of
a
bright
fire
upon
so
many
happy
countenances,
the
whole
room
made
a
pretty
sight.
