four-inside

Updated: May 7, 2025

Ah, how their coats shone, as the stable-men pulled their clothes off, and away they went ah, how their tails shook, as with smoking sides at the stage's end they demurely walked away into the inn-yard. Alas! we shall never hear the horn sing at midnight, or see the pike-gates fly open any more. Whither, however, is the light four-inside Trafalgar coach carrying us?
