Dorothy Wordsworth

There
were
Dutch
women
with
immense
straw
bonnets,
with
flat
crowns
and
rims
in
the
shape
of
oyster
shells,
without
trimming,
or
with
only
a
plain
riband
round
the
crown,
and
literally
as
large
as
a
small-sized
umbrella.
Hamburgher
girls
with
white
caps,
with
broad
overhanging
borders,
crimped
and
stiff,
and
long
lappets
of
riband.
Hanoverians
with
round
borders,
showing
all
the
face,
and
standing
upright,
a
profusion
of
riband....
Fruit-women,
with
large
straw
hats
in
the
shape
of
an
inverted
bowl,
or
white
handkerchiefs
tied
round
the
head
like
a
bishop's
mitre.
Jackets
the
most
common,
often
the
petticoat
and
jacket
of
different
colours.
The
ladies
without
hats,
in
dresses
of
all
fashions.
Soldiers
with
dull-looking
red
coats,
and
immense
cocked
hats.
The
men
little
differing
from
the
English,
except
that
they
have
generally
a
pipe
in
their
mouths.
After
waiting
about
an
hour
we
saw
Wm.
appear.
Two
porters
carried
our
luggage
upon
a
sort
of
wheelbarrow,
and
we
were
conducted
through
dirty,
ill-paved
streets
to
an
inn,
where,
with
great
difficulty,
and
after
long
seeking,
lodgings
had
been
procured
for
us.
Breakfasted
with
Mons.
de
Loutre.
Chester
and
I
went
to
the
promenade.
People
of
all
ranks,
and
in
various
dresses,
walking
backwards
and
forwards.
Ladies
with
small
baskets
hanging
on
their
arms,
long
shawls
of
various
colours
thrown
over
their
shoulders.
The
women
of
the
lower
order
dressed
with
great
modesty....
Went
to
the
French
theatre
in
the
evening....
The
piece
a
mixture
of
dull
declamation
and
unmeaning
rant.
The
ballet
unintelligible
to
us,
as
the
story
was
carried
on
in
singing.
The
body
of
the
house
very
imperfectly
lighted,
which
has
a
good
effect
in
bringing
out
the
stage,
but
the
acting
was
not
very
amusing....
