Southey saw Caroline and her Mother Husband and Daughter Dorothée and was very much pleased with them—He says the Babe is a lovely Child, the Mother very interesting and the image of John Wordsworth—and something like Dorothy; and the Husband a fine man—sensible and animated and very fond of his wife and child. ”Letters, eA. cit., ii, 801.
