The Cigarette had some mysteries to perform with his rigging in the coach-house; so I was left to do the parade single-handed. I found myself very much of a hero whether I would or not. The girls were full of little shudderings over the dangers of our journey. And I thought it would be ungallant not to take my cue from the ladies.
Then we went out by the side door and down the covered way into the yard at the back. The workshops were fastened with rusty padlocks that looked as if they had not been disturbed for months. The stables were empty and had been tentatively cleaned out, the coach-house was vacant, and presented no traces of recent use excepting a half-bald spoke-brush.
I couldn't ha' walked better." Tom thought the same, though he would not say so, but helped the gardener place the wrecked chair in the coach-house, and then found his uncle coming that way. "Get the wheelbarrow, Tom," he said, "and we'll take the new discs of glass into the workshop." "And begin again, uncle?" cried Tom excitedly. "What, are you ready to go through all that labour again?"
How dare you?" and Louis dashed the glowing end of his cigar in the negro's face. For a moment Pompey stood absolutely still, the cigar which had left its mark upon his cheek lying smouldering at his feet, then he turned quietly and walked away. Louis strode out of the coach-house. Evadne followed him, her eyes blazing. "You are a coward!" she cried passionately.
Opposite the door by which we had entered from the road was a similar door, which gave upon the inner yard.

"Heyday!" said Edmund, "here's company, here's a carriage! who have they got to meet us?" And letting down the side-glass to distinguish, "'Tis Crawford's, Crawford's barouche, I protest! There are his own two men pushing it back into its old quarters.
When I get my pony I'll be all right any way; and on Saturdays, or odd half-holidays there always are odd half-holidays at every school, you know I'll take you girls out a drive in that funny little donkey-chaise, or whatever it is, that's standing in the coach-house. 'I don't fancy there are many places to drive to, Rosalys replied.
In the coach-house, I thought, there might be a ladder, and thither I repaired without delay. But the doors were padlocked, and try them as I might I could not open them. What was I to do? The more difficulties which encumbered my path, the more did I determine to surmount them.
He had, besides, a pair of short crimson velvet breeches, silk stockings, cut-down shoes, and hanging behind him a species of umbrella case made of blue satin, to put his tail into when the weather was rainy. "Be quick, Medoro, like a good dog!" said the Fairy to the Poodle. "Have the most beautiful carriage in my coach-house harnessed, and take the road to the wood.
It may be right to say that on his return the Emperor found his table covered with information respecting my conduct in Paris, though I had not held the smallest communication with any one in the capital, nor once entered it during his absence. After my departure for Hamburg, Bonaparte took possession of my stables and coach-house, which he filled with horses.
