{452} _"Tickhill, God help me!"_ (Vol. i., p. 247.).--Chagford, on the
borders Dartmoor, in Devon, is in winter a very desolate and almost
unapproachable place. If an inhabitant be asked at this season concerning
his locality, he calls it, in sad tones, "Chagford, good Lord!" In summer
the place is picturesque and much sought, and then the exulting designation
is "Chaggiford, and what d'ye think?"
Widdicombe-in-the-Moor, in the same neighbourhood, is a most out-of-the-way
place, and is commonly spoken of as "Widdicombe in the cold country, good
Lord!"
