Well, the time came, I obtained my freedom, and I was sworn a Liveryman in the Lorimer's Company. This was managed by Mr. Millar, through the instrumentality of Mr. Ireland, of Holborn-bridge; but instead of having the expenses paid for me, I had to pay the whole myself, which I believe were about fifty pounds.
After a pause the old liveryman asked with a broad smile, "Why don't you go in for the heiress, Jim?" "Me! I never thought of it she's nothing but a girl. The old one pleased me better she was a smart woman!" "The girl's got all the property, ain't she?" "I suppose so." "Well, then, you get two bites from the same cherry."
I was growing impatient to reach camp, there being no opportunity to send word to my outfit, and the passing hours seemed days, when late in the afternoon Dorg Seay drove down the main street of Dodge as big as a government beef buyer. The liveryman was pleased and accepted the regular rate, and Dorg and I were soon galloping out of town.
None else could tell him so well where the prosperous farmers lived, nor who was most likely to fall a victim to Jarby's Encyclopedia in the town itself. From the liveryman he could learn which minister, if there were more than one, would be the best to have head his list of subscribers, which lady was head of the Society, and what society she was head of.
"I have directed our liveryman to send over his best nag and a cutter this morning," said Albert at breakfast the next day to his friend, "and you and Alice can take a sleigh-ride and see Sandgate snow-clad.

"What name did that woman in the kitchen give?" she demanded, viciously ripping out the offending sleeve. "Bliss. Mattie Bliss," I replied. "Bliss. M. B. Well, that's not what she has on he suitcase. It is marked N. F. C." The new cook and her initials troubled me not at all. I put on my bonnet and sent for what the Casanova liveryman called a "stylish turnout."
The liveryman, conferring with his partner, was about to bid when Andover jumped the price to two hundred and fifty. "I'm through," said the liveryman. "Sold to name, please sold to Doctor John Andover for two hundred and fifty dollars," said the auctioneer. Then, after a facetious dissertation on thoroughbreds as against cow-ponies, Blue Smoke was led out. Pete's face went red. Then he paled.
Windy, having run low as to coin, wasn't able to pay up Emily's back board, and the liveryman was holding her for the bill.
With the gust there seemed to blow in the figure of a little old man wrapped in a great black coat, bouncing into their midst as if he were an India rubber ball thrown by a gigantic hand. Behind him strode in Manners, the liveryman of Monday Port. "Here's a guest for you, Mr. Frost.
Saturday proved clear and warm, and the Rovers and their friends started directly after lunch for Rushville in a two-seated carriage, hired from a liveryman of Ashton. As they did not wish to excite any curiosity, they told Tubbs and Max that they were going out merely for a long ride.
