When the coach that was to carry old Dob away drew up before the door, Georgie gave an exclamation of surprise. "Hello!" said he, "there's Dob's trap! There's Francis coming out with the portmanteau, and the postilion. Look at his boots and yellow jacket why they are putting the horses to Dob's carriage. Is he going anywhere?" "Yes," said Amelia, "he is going on a journey." "Going on a journey!
"Hullo!" said he, "there's Dob's trap they are bringing it out of the court-yard." The "trap" in question was a carriage which the Major had bought for six pounds sterling, and about which they used to rally him a good deal. Emmy gave a little start, but said nothing. "Hullo!"
Georgy continued, "there's Francis coming out with the portmanteaus, and Kunz, the one-eyed postilion, coming down the market with three schimmels. Look at his boots and yellow jacket ain't he a rum one? Why they're putting the horses to Dob's carriage. Is he going anywhere?" "Yes," said Emmy, "he is going on a journey." "Going on a journey; and when is he coming back?"
