Then he made an excuse to his household and gave them his last injunctions, after which he loaded three camels and mounted his hackney.
"Adventures I have had, and strange ones; but for sufferings, instead of fetter-galls, I bring back, as you see, a new suit of clothes; instead of an empty and starved stomach, a surfeit from good victuals and good liquor; and whereas I went into Ely on foot, I came out on a fast hackney." So into William's tent he went; and there he told his tale.
Up betimes to write fair my last night's paper for the Duke, and so along with Sir W. Batten by hackney coach to St. James's-day. And by and by, while they are at chappell, and we waiting chappell being done, come people out of the Parke, telling us that the guns are heard plain.
We come back to our chilly home among the fogs and bogs with wider projects for the thawing down of the social ice-heap, and the introduction of the bread-fruit-tree and the currant-bun-bush into the remotest wilds of the borough of Hackney.
All manner of practical discussions were set on foot, ranging from the production of the ideal, the general purposes cow, to that controversy which competes, in the virulence with which it is waged, with the political, the educational, and the fiscal questions the question whether the hackney strain will bring a new era of prosperity to Ireland, or whether it will irretrievably destroy the reputation of the Irish hunter.
The Peerages are all postponed to an indefinite time. If you are in a violent hurry, you may petition the ghosts of your neighbours Masaniello and the Gracchi.

"I will see to it, wife," said Cesar, pressing his wife's hand and his daughter's, adding, "Ah, my dear white lambs, I have given you a sad New Year's gift!" The two women, unable to see him in the obscurity of the hackney coach, felt his tears falling hot upon their hands.
But I had scarce finished my chocolate and begun to smoke in a pleasant revery, when I was startled by the arrival of two gentlemen. One was Comyn, and the other none less than Mr. Charles Fox. "Now where the devil has your captain flown to?" said my Lord, tossing his whip on the table. "I believe he must be sight-seeing," I said. "I dare swear he has taken a hackney coach to the Tower."
He filled in his age somewhat the same position that Bede did in his, that of a compiler and populariser of existing knowledge. Novelist and writer on Jewish history and religion, was b. at Hackney of Jewish parents of Spanish descent. She was delicate from childhood, and early showed great interest in history, especially Jewish. The death of her f. threw her on her own resources.
This trivial incident had so interrupted the current of conversation, that it was difficult of resumption; and Mrs Chick moreover had been so affected by the contemplation of her own tolerant nature, that she was not in spirits. The two friends accordingly soon made an end of their tea, and a servant was despatched to fetch a hackney cabriolet for Miss Tox.
