The black boy leaped to the back-seat, and in a moment the buggy swerved by the bullock-dray that was drawn up a little further down the road, and the excited horses galloped past the nineteen public houses and the zinc-roofed shanties, past the new quarter of tents and whirring machinery, past the deserted shafts and desolate mullock heaps, then way out along the sandy wheel-track into the unpopulated Bush.
"The back-seat is occupied by ladies," said the agent, "you will have to take the front one."
'There is a punishment for you, said she, 'that you may know enough to return a kiss when a handsome lady gives you when the king did not wish them with him; in summer, in an open wagon, the dogs upon the back-seat, and the footmen upon the forward seat, and whenever they reproved them, to bring them to order, they addressed them in the polite manner of one, and not stand like a libber, and with that she boxed me again.
He had a rooted objection to the back-seat, and held the opinion that a woman at the wheel was out of place. Olga, however, was not prepared to yield on this point at least. She had brought him against her will, and she meant to forget him if possible.

I love I love hearing things of that wicked sort. Well, you didn't go, and I couldn't have my nice drive on the little back-seat. But Aunt Sophy did give a pained sigh. She loves you, does Aunt Sophy.
The Major made himself George's tutor and read Caesar and mathematics with him, and they had a German master and rode out of evenings by the side of Emmy's carriage she was always too timid, and made a dreadful outcry at the slightest disturbance on horse-back.
