Wednesday.--A
very
rainy
day.
I
made
a
shoe.
Wm.
and
John
went
to
fish
in
Langdale.
In
the
evening
I
went
above
the
house,
and
gathered
flowers,
which
I
planted,
foxgloves,
etc.
On
Sunday[23]
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Coleridge
and
Hartley
came.
The
day
was
very
warm.
We
sailed
to
the
foot
of
Loughrigg.
They
staid
with
us
three
weeks,
and
till
the
Thursday
following,
from
1st
till
the
23rd
of
July.[24]
On
the
Friday
preceding
their
departure,
we
drank
tea
at
the
island.
The
weather
was
delightful,
and
on
the
Sunday
we
made
a
great
fire,
and
drank
tea
in
Bainriggs
with
the
Simpsons.
I
accompanied
Mrs.
C.
to
Wytheburne,
and
returned
with
W.
to
tea
at
Mr.
Simpson's.
It
was
exceedingly
hot,
but
the
day
after,
Friday
24th
July,[25]
still
hotter.
All
the
morning
I
was
engaged
in
unpacking
our
Somersetshire
goods.
The
house
was
a
hot
oven.
I
was
so
weary,
I
could
not
walk:
so
I
went
out,
and
sate
with
Wm.
in
the
orchard.
We
had
a
delightful
half-hour
in
the
warm
still
evening.
[Footnote
23:
Coleridge
arrived
at
Grasmere
on
Sunday
29th
June.--ED.]
[Footnote
24:
The
dates
here
given
are
confusing.
S.
T.
C.
says
he
was
ill
at
Grasmere,
and
stayed
a
fortnight.
In
a
letter
to
Tom
Poole
he
says
he
arrived
at
Keswick
on
24th
July,
which
was
a
Thursday.--ED.]
[Footnote
25:
That
Friday
was
the
25th
July.
The
two
next
dates
were
incorrectly
entered
by
Dorothy.--ED.]
Saturday,
26th.--Still
hotter.
I
sate
with
W.
in
the
orchard
all
the
morning,
and
made
my
shoe....
