Again , Borrow mentions attending a horse and cattle fair , in company with the gypsies , on the morning of the day when , looking backward toward the dingle , he saw Isopel Berners for the last time ` standing at the mouth , -LCB- 0g -RCB- the beams of the morning sun shining full on her noble face and figure . ' It seems probable that this fair , which took the party about two hours to reach , was the Tamworth horse and cattle fair held on July 26 . Again , Borrow tells us that ` a young moon gave a feeble light , ' as he mounted the coach to Amesbury , and on May 24 the moon _ was _ in its first quarter . -LCB- 0h -RCB- The planet Jupiter , too , he could have seen after 10 p.m. on June 3 , but his reference to the position of Ursus Major on the evening of his talk with Ursula is less satisfactory . ` On arriving at the mouth of the dingle , which fronted the east , I perceived , ' says Borrow , ` that Charles 's Wain was nearly opposite to it high above in the heavens , by which I knew that the night was tolerably well advanced . ' But on July 24 , as I learn , Charles 's Wain was in the N.W. , and at midnight or 1 a.m. lay nearly due north , and as low down in the sky as it could be . This , however , is perhaps to consider too closely .
