Sunday 2nd September 1832

Till three and a half sewing watch pocket in new pelisse and putting strings to petticoat and getting all ready to put on tomorrow to go with Miss Walker.


Monday 3rd September 1832

Put on my new pelisse 1st time and off with Miss Walker who had been sitting 1/4 hour with my aunt at 11 50/.. – we called and sat 35 minutes with Mrs and Miss Mary (banker) Briggs on the death of Mrs Rawdon Briggs – then drove to Pye Nest – 1/2 hour there – then 25 minutes with Mrs Dyson Willow, found returned her call of thanks but then 3/4 hour at Throp’s not intending to begin a regular visiting - looking at shrubs and flowers then called at the door each left our card and particular inquires after Mrs Saltmarshe, and then made sundry shoppings and Miss Walker set me down at our own gate at 5 1/2.

Miss W and I got on very well, she was not for going to Pyenest. she wed me a queer huffy letter she had had from Mrs Edwards, would not call before November. I advised differently and we went but I see there will be no cordiality again between them, this will not suit me the less well. She seems well enough inclined to consult me and tell me all, I am to choose shrubs for her and she for me. Begged her not to stay longer than three weeks or if she did not go so soon as Wednesday to be back on the twenty sixth and I would breakfast with her on the twenty seventh at which she seemed pleased. I oned and said she had better go with me and be at Rome for Easter, her refusal was weak enough to make me guess her going. As possible, she does not seem to dislike me at any rate, well what shall we make of it? If she was fond of me and manageable, I think I could be comfortable enough with her – 

Wrote the above of today till 8 1/2 – Miss Walker left me today the 3 8vo volumes History of Paris I saw and asked for when last calling on her (on Friday) – 

Wednesday 5th September 1832

Wednesday 3 October 1832 Lay awake an hour and a half thinking of Miss Walker. I really do get more and more in  love with her, not perhaps a little heightened by the having to wait her answer for the next six  months. She has really behaved very judiciously for I believe she likes me – Just sent off John to Lidgate with a brace of Isabella Norcliffe’s partridges for Miss Walker - Thursday 4 th   October 1832   At Lidgate in 1/2 hour, at 10  and staid till John Priestley came at two. She started as difficulties  the not living at Cliff Hill and my intimacy with the William Priestley's, she should do as she liked  about the former. It was herself, it was person not place I bared for and as soon as all was  settled my giving up the P's was easy and not ural, this said she seemed reconciled and satisfied.  I said I would listen to no difficulty but the pre engagement of her own heart, she  declared it not engaged and talked of letting the Ainsleys have Cliff Hill a

Friday 10th August 1832 Then called on Miss Walker of Lidgate and sat  1 3/4  hour with her – found her very civil and agreeable –   She said she had heard that Mrs Kenny would not  have been walking arm in arm with my sister but that she wanted her for another, Mr Clark.said  the thing seemed absurd but agreed that Marian was likely enough to be taken in. Miss W then  said how deep the Kennys were, Mrs K would have been as intimate with her (Miss W) but she had  fought shy, thinking her very forward about it. Said how she disliked Doctor Kenny  as a medical man, he asked queer questions and made odd remarks, she would never have him again. We got  on very well together thought I, as I have several times done before of late. S hall I try and make up to her?  Left Miss Walker at 1 35/..  Original diary page here: https://www.catalogue.wyjs.org.uk/CalmView/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=CC00001%2f7%2f9%2f6%2f15%2f104&pos=1

Getting cosy in the Moss House

Sunday 30 th  September 1832 Awake at five and from then to getting up lay thinking of Miss W. At nine incurred the  cross I really am getting much more in love than I expected to be again infact she likes  me it is evident and I think we shall be very happy together. Monday 1 st  October 1832 Out again at 9 1/4 – along the walk by Lower Brea and the New Road to meet Miss Walker  and met her near Hipperholme Lane ends at 9 50/60 – we rested in the hut, and she being not  quite strong and well (obliged to go out of afternoon church yesterday in the middle of the service) advised her  not going father and walked home with her –   We sat from a little past ten to ten minutes  to four, sign she was not tired of my company. I said my aunt had questioned me and that  I had really owned her suspicions were right, that I could make good excuse for her Miss W  and thought she had better call another day when both parties would be prepared to receive each  other more at ease,
