The Prose Works of William Wordsworth

PART III
169/791

Such was particularly the case with two brothers of the name of Weston, who took up their abode at Old Brathay, I think about seventy years ago.

They were highwaymen, and lived there some time without being discovered, though it was known that they often disappeared, in a way, and upon errands, which could not be accounted for.

Their horses were noticed as being of a choice breed, and I have heard from the Relph family, one of whom was a saddler in the town of Kendal, that they were curious in their saddles, and housings, and accoutrements of their horses.

They, as I have heard, and as was universally believed, were, in the end, both taken and hanged.
[15] Sir George Vandeput.
_Tall was her stature, her complexion dark, and saturnine_ .-- This person lived at Town-End, and was almost our next neighbour.

I have little to notice concerning her beyond what is said in the poem.
