[1] Married Lord Teignmouth, Conservative member for Marylebone, in 1838.--EDITOR.
[3] The packet was nearly lost going in; we lost sight of the lighthouse in the fog, before the light was put up as a signal that there was water enough. In standing in to discover it again, we got into shoal water, near the breakers, and had to tack in ten feet of water, the vessel drawing near eight feet. It was a mere accident our not striking the ground.
[4] In after years published a clever children's book, _Aunt Effie's Nursery Rhymes_ (illustrated), which ran through many editions; also a volume of sacred poems, _The Dove on the Cross_.--EDITOR.
[5] We expected we were going for a carriage, so we could not think where they were taking us; the custom-house looked more like a den of robbers.
[6] I awoke this morning very uncomfortable; although I had been very anxious to go to France, I now felt so far from home that I would have done anything to get back again.
[7] The governess. This 'clever and progressive' lady published, anonymously, in 1821, _The History of William and his Little Scholar, Joseph, with some account of Joseph's Mother_: sketches of Cumberland life, based on her experiences with the Brownes, from whose household the characters were taken.--EDITOR.
[8] There is a hedge at one side of the Forest.
[9] At the doors of many of the houses we saw children eating something out of a porringer and holding long rolls in their hands.
[10] Here papa left a pocket-handkerchief which was afterwards sent, but another gentleman got it by mistake. The French are very honest about stealing.
[11] They were the _Sœurs de Charité_; dressed in a black cloth jacket and petticoat, a full apron, and a kind of linen cap. By their side they carry a rosary, a death's head, and a pair of scissors.
[12] The room we breakfasted in was painted like a panorama.
[13] Miss Wragge went to see the Church of Notre Dame which was dressed up with gold cloth, artificial flowers, etc., round the pillars for the Duke of Bordeaux's baptism.
[14] Before breakfast we bought some Leghorn bonnets at Madame Denis, Rue St. Honoré.
