A wet Sunday in a country inn ! Whoever has had the luck to experienceone(1) can alone judge of(2) my situation. The rain pattered against thecasements; the bells tolled for church with a melancholy sound. I wentto the windows in quest of something to amuse the eye; but it seemed asif I had been placed completely out of the reach of ail 1 amusement. Thewindows of my bed-room looked out(3) among tiled roofs and stacks ofchimneys, while those of my sitting-room 2 commanded a full view of(4) thestable yard. I know of nothing more calculated to make a man sick of thisworld than a stable yard on a rainy day. The place was littered with wetstraw that had been kicked about by travellers and stable-boys. In onecorner was a stagnant 3 pool of water, surrounding an island of muck; therewere several half-drowned fowls 4 crowded together under a cart, among whichwas a miserable 5, crest-fallen cock, drenched 6 out of ail life and spirit;his drooping 7 tail matted, as it were, into a single feather, along whichthe water trickled from his hack; near the cart was a half- dozing cow,chewing her cud, and standing 8 patiently to be rained on, with wreaths ofvapour(5) rising from her reekinghide; a wall-eyed(6) horse, tired of the loneliness of the stable, waspoking his spectral head out of a window, with the rain dripping on itfrom the eaves; an unhappy cur, chained to a dog-house hard by, utteredsomething every now and then between a bark and a yelp 9; a drab of a kitchenwench(7) tramped backwards and forwards through the yard in pat- tens,looking as sulky as the weather itself; everything, iq short, wascomfortless and forlorn, excepting a crew of hardened ducks, assembledlike boon 10 companions round a puddle 11 and making a riotous 12 noise over theirliquor.
