We found Mrs Darcy pale but composed, a mounted messenger having returned from Mr Darcy with the news that he had heard of a post-chaise going at full galloping speed on the road to Merton, and was following it up. He begged Mrs Darcy to sustain her spirits, and call on the Admiral for aid if occasion should arise in his absence.
But not to this said he putting a printed paper into my hand, Par le Roy. 'Tis a pithy prolegomenon, quoth I and so read on.... By all which it appears, quoth I, having read it over, a little too rapidly, that if a man sets out in a post-chaise from Paris he must go on travelling in one, all the days of his life or pay for it.
M. d'Orleans, thereupon, protested that he washed his hands of all the misfortunes that might happen in consequence of his advice being neglected. He declared that as he was no longer master over anything, it was not just that he should bear any part of the blame which would entail to those in command. He asked, therefore, for his post-chaise, and wished immediately to quit the army.
"Of course not, your honor, it's little feeding troubles these bastes, any how, but they tell me the road is so heavy we'll never take the chaise over the next stage without leaders." "Without leaders!" said I. "Pooh! my good fellow, no humbugging, four horses for a light post-chaise and no luggage; come get up, and no nonsense."
I shall send you off to Edinburgh in a post-chaise and four this very day. 'Poz donner! you would not do that? said Hatteraick, in a lower and more humbled tone; 'why, you had the matter of half a cargo in bills on Vanbeest and Vanbruggen. 'It is so long since, Captain Hatteraick, answered Glossin, superciliously, 'that I really forget how I was recompensed for my trouble.
In the afternoon, as we were driven rapidly along in the post-chaise, he said to me 'Life has not many things better than this. We stopped at Stratford-upon-Avon, and drank tea and coffee; and it pleased me to be with him upon the classick ground of Shakspeare's native place. He spoke slightingly of Dyer's Fleece. 'The subject, Sir, cannot be made poetical.
The post-chaise was now at the door, and Flemming was soon on the road to Coblentz, a city which stands upon the Rhine, at the mouth of the Mosel, opposite Ehrenbreitstein. It is by no means a long drive from Andernach to Coblentz; and the only incident which occurred to enliven the way was the appearance of a fat, red-faced man on horseback, trotting slowly towards Andernach.
Jonathan Wild's first object, as soon as he had made good his retreat, was to ascertain what had become of his janizaries, and, if possible, to release them. With this view, he hurried to the spot where he had left the post-chaise, and found it drawn up at the road-side, the postilion dismounted, and in charge of a couple of farming-men.
On the third day I saw plainly that Marina wished to make a conquest of her colleague, and feeling what great advantage might accrue to her from it I resolved on helping her. She had a post-chaise for two persons, and I easily persuaded her to take Baletti with her, saying that I wished to arrive alone in Mantua for several reasons which I could not confide to her.
Johnson some essays which he had written; and my great friend, who was exceedingly obliging when thus consulted , was detained so long, that it was, I believe, one o'clock before we got into our post-chaise.
