How one learnt to hate the sun out here. What wouldn't he give for a cool, grey-green Irish day, with a wet wind blowing in from the sea? a day such as he had heedlessly squandered hundreds of, in his youth. Now it made his mouth water only to think of them. It still wanted ten minutes to ten o'clock and the buggy had not yet come round.
The decorated side-bar buggy might be well meant; the village band need not have been interpreted as an ironical compliment; the rest of the celebration might indicate paucity of resource rather than facetious intent; but surely the figure of fun before us could not be otherwise construed than as a deliberate advertising in the face of success of the town's real attitude toward the celebration.

A ricketty waggon not an English hay-cart, but a spidery trap, with high wheels, so called and a dilapidated buggy were placed at their disposal.
