Regiments ready to act in harmony with the military commissions purge the South and the valley of the Rhone; thenceforth, there are no more roving bands in the rural districts, while brigandage on a grand scale, constantly repressed, ceases, and after this, that on a small scale. No more chouans, chauffeurs, or barbets; The mail-coach travels without a guard, and the highways are safe.
He stopped abruptly, having seen his master standing in the open doorway. "By gad, Dale," cried Medenham, "I have never heard your tongue wagging in that fashion before." Dale was flustered. "Beg pardon, my lord, but I was only " he began. "Only using the cut-out, I fancy. Come here, I want you a minute." The other chauffeurs suddenly discovered that they had urgent business elsewhere.
Motor cars sped noiselessly to and fro, save where, at the corner below, chauffeurs exercised their sirens. But neither the lights, nor the night, nor the movement and noises of the street had any part in the young man's consciousness. "It's all right, isn't it?" she repeated. "I'm afraid it isn't," he said at length, in a restrained voice. "I'm afraid it isn't." "What do you mean?" she demanded.
The whole clamouring city seemed to consist of one vast, concentrated desire on the part of brown people to sell things to fair people. They shouted and wheedled and besought on the sidewalks; and the roadway between was a wide river of colour and life. Motor cars with Arab chauffeurs carried rich Turks to business, or to an audience of State.

I suppose even in your class of life there's such a thing as gossip." I was scarlet.
We almost always had an interested audience, professional, clerical, or lay, for the chauffeurs found much amusement in these feats of engineering. In the afternoon we almost always had some distinguished visitor to entertain, and it is one of my chief regrets that we never kept a visitors' book. Its pages would one day have been of the greatest interest.
There was an instant rush towards the house; Miss Walters, with Milner and four other chauffeurs to support her, dashed up stairs, Mr. Bowden and a crowd of visitors took their stand under the windows.
And then Vera came out of the hat place, and the new green hat was on her head, and the old one in a bag in her pretty hands. 'What do you think of my new hat, Felix? she smiled to the favoured chauffeur; 'I hope it pleases you. Felix said that it did. In these days, chauffeurs are a great race and a privileged. They have usurped the position formerly held by military officers.
But exacerbation tells, even in the young, and at Piccadilly Circus, Lucas, in obeying a too suddenly uplifted hand of a policeman, stopped his engine. The situation, horribly humiliating for Lucas and also for George, provided pleasure for half the chauffeurs and drivers in Piccadilly Circus, and was the origin of much jocularity of a kind then fairly new.
Rover had heard of the unreliable chauffeurs and he was even more indignant than his sons. "I don't think that owner will show himself again," he said. "If he does I'll take care of him." The man was never heard of; and that ended the affair. "We had a splendid time anyway," declared Grace, and the other girls agreed with her.
