Excerpt: ...are you doing and how are you getting on since I heard your experiences of the lakes, and sent a flying letter to hit you on your way to the Trossachs, perhaps at Edinburgh? I have been to Paris for a few days. When I last stayed there, it was under the pure democracy of Mayday, 1848. It looked mournful I thought and out of heart and spirits under the new Imperial regime. The Exhibition Building is in better taste and much more prettily ornamented than ours, but its want of size disappoints any one who had got used to the inside look of the Hyde Park Building. I saw Browning here one day. You see he is going to publish two volumes. Maud, I think, is rather discredited by the upper critics. Thackeray starts for New York to-day, to begin lecturing there on 1st November. There was a great dinner, Dickens in the chair, to express the good wishes of his friends--(and others)--but I have not heard any particulars--farewell.--Faithfully yours, A. H. Clough. Council Office, 13M October 1855. We give here a portion of Allingham's answer to the last letter: it is all that has been preserved of his side of the correspondence. william Allingham to Arthur H. Clough. Lane, Ballyshannon, 25 October 1855. My Dear Clough, --I was very glad to meet your note at Edinburgh. From Coniston I walked by Yewdale, Colwith, Little Langdale, Blea Tarn, and slept at a farmhouse under the Pikes; next day Langdale, Loughrigg Tarn (not much to see), Red Bank, Grasmere (most lovely). Walked to the village in heavy rain, overtaking a Pedlaress who has perambulated the lake district for twenty-five years, and has been chatted to by Wordsworth. One of her arms is crippled by rheumatism, --I wonder he omitted to versify her. Coach to Keswick, with an elaboratespeaking elderly.
