On 04-07-1854 morning the pair started for Holyhead, and then took boat for Dublin, staying long enough in that city to see the sights. Charlotte's cold had come worse so the two days they spent in Dublin were restricted to driving around the city. Trinity College would be one of the first places visited, for it was Mr. Nicholls' Alma Mater, and it was from Trinity College that he took up his appointment as curate of Haworth. Arthur took pride in showing his bride the library, museum and chapel.
1905, some years after Charlotte and Arthur visited Dublin (Trinity College), but it gives a good idea how it looked like.

The Library
In Dublin they were joined by his brother, manager of the Grand Canal from their hometown, Banagher, a cousin, who was studying at the university and another cousin, ""a pretty lady-like girl with gentle English manners""

Charlotte must have been in awe of the library! Such a pity she was so ill...nothing worse than being sick while traveling, especially on your honeymoon!

Yes, what a very beautiful library. I think, she did't believe her eyes!
