Of course we'll have the coach-and-four out, at once. And I'll take the title of Emperor, as soon as we can safely hold an Election. But they'll hardly stand our using the Jewels, as long as they know the Warden's alive. We must spread a report of his death. A little Conspiracy " "A Conspiracy!" cried the delighted lady, clapping her hands. "Of all things, I do like a Conspiracy!
By the time Europe had wearied of the sword, the fatality attending high living, large slave-tilled estates, the love of official society, and the defective education of the young men of tide-water Virginia and Maryland, produced a new class of native-born errants and broken profligates at Washington, and many a life whose memories began with a coach-and-four and a park of deer ended them between the coverlets of a poor-house bed.
The treaty was quickly sealed by a kiss, and Mistress Polly ran off to give the order for the coach-and-four, for the races began at one o'clock and the course was a short distance out of the city. There soon came a clatter of hoofs, a rattle, a slam and a bang, a whoaing, a yelling, and a confusion of noises.
Let us talk of making money, and driving a coach-and-four through this villanous world," your cousin sank into a profound revery; and when he woke from it, it was like the waking of the earth after a night in spring, the bare trees had put forth buds!

They were flying along, their cheeks very rosy and their eyes shining. "O, Margary," they cried, "come up to the tavern, quick, and see! The most beautiful coach-and-four is drawn up there. There are lackeys in green and gold, with cocked hats, and the coach hath a crest on the side O, Margary!" Margary's eyes grew large too, and she turned about with her empty pitcher and followed her friends.
They had almost reached the tavern, and were in full sight of the coach-and-four, when some one coming toward them caused them to draw up on one side of the way and stare with new wonder. It was a most beautiful little boy. His golden curls hung to his shoulders, his sweet face had an expression at once gentle and noble, and his dress was of the richest material.
Did you not see me me, John Brough, whose name is good for millions step out of my coach-and-four into this office, with four pounds nineteen, which I paid in to Mr. Roundhand as the price of half a share for the porter at my lodge-gate? Did you remark that I deducted a shilling from the five pound?"
We must go to Father!" Sylvie panted, as they ran down the garden. "I'm sure things are at their worst! I'll ask the Gardener to let us out again." "But we ca'n't walk all the way!" Bruno whimpered. "How I wiss we had a coach-and-four, like Uncle!" And, shrill and wild, rang through the air the familiar voice:
I had so looked forward to your coming again. It was the alluring thing in my life, your arrival," he went on; "but something came between." His tone nettled her. He talked as if he had some distant claim on her. "Something came between?" she repeated slowly, mockingly. "That sounds melodramatic indeed. What was it came between a coach-and-four, or a grand army?"
Holmes, which leaves London at one-twenty-two, as the Earl will be expecting you, and what's more, he'll have a coach-and-four waiting for you at the Hedge-gutheridge station. So long!" And the Earl's secretary stepped out, closed the door after him, and was gone.
