When the coachman was told by the lady's maid to take the letter to Mrs. Bold, he openly expressed his opinion that there was some mistake about it. Whereupon the lady's maid boxed the coachman's ears. Had Mr. Slope seen in how meek a spirit the coachman took the rebuke, he might have learnt a useful lesson, both in philosophy and religion.

As soon as he has reached the deserted avenue outside the gate that leads to Sans-Souci, the man sitting in the carriage will open the front window, throw a cape over the coachman's head, thus blindfolding and preventing him from uttering any cries.
The Dodge house had been entered late in the night, but the Dodge coachman, returning late, had caught sight of a burglar near an open dining room window. In investigating more closely the coachman had scared the burglar, who leaped from the window, struck the coachman over the head, and then vanished.

Cuckoo gave a little cry of surprise, then hastily glanced at the coachman's back and pushed her hands under the rug up towards her mouth. "Hush," said the doctor. "Only listen quietly." "Yes, pardon," she said. "But he ain't oh, he can't be." "I am forced to think it, forced to think it," the doctor said, with pressure.
As Sweetwater reached the head of the driveway, he saw the first of a long file of carriages approaching up the street. "Lucky that my business takes me to the stable," thought he. "What is the coachman's name? I ought to remember it. Ah Zadok! Zadok Brown. There's a combination for you!"
