The End of the World
Saturday, 11 March 1843
Got up early to gather flowers, The heat was dreadful. After breakfast it increased so much, we began to think there must be some truth in the report that the Comet is to burn us up. When my aunt came to the schoolroom she told us a great deal about comets, and said that though this one may possibly be the cause for the great heat, there is no danger of the world being destroyed by it. People had often before imagined the end of the world was at thand but of that day and hour no man knoweth. We saw the comet again tonight: but it is very splendid. It appears later every evening and is longer visable and higher up. The tail seems longer and thinner, but is still bright annd beautiful, though the moonlight just now partially eclipses it.
