upon

ground

and
were
obliged

pleasant.

A

came
in,
just
as

We
walked
after

by

covered
with

grand,
but
the
Old
Man[36]
very
expressive.
Cold
and
slippery,

exceedingly
pleasant.

Man.'--ED.]
Friday
Morning.--Terribly
cold

rainy.

set
forward
towards
Keswick,
but
the
wind
in

eyes
made
him
turn
back.
Sara
and
I
had
a
grand
bread
and
cake
baking.
We
were
very
merry
in
the
evening,
but
grew
sleepy
soon,
though
we
did
not
go
to
bed
till
twelve
o'clock.
