Wellesley.
Life in an isolated village, or a lonely country-house, presents many little occurrences which sink into the mind of childhood, there to be brooded over.

No other event may have happened, or be likely to happen, for days, to push one of these aside, before it has assumed a vague and mysterious importance.

Thus, children leading a secluded life are often thoughtful and dreamy: the impressions made upon them by the world without--the unusual sights of earth and sky--the accidental meetings with strange faces and figures (rare occurrences in those out-of-the-way places)--are sometimes magnified by them into things so deeply significant as to be almost supernatural.

This peculiarity I perceive very strongly in Charlotte's writings at this time.

Indeed, under the circumstances, it is no peculiarity.
