It seems Mr. Frazer his wife told the story sold him, a twelvemonth ago, a curricle and pair of horses.
Although she had been a hunter, and was a lady's horse, she went well in harness, and used to run in a curricle, with all the fiery spirits whom my father chose to drive; and we must have been dashed to pieces more than once, but for her steadiness and forbearance.
