They huddled the king's body into a postchaise; and in this deplorable equipage, with an escort of about forty men, Louis, the Well-beloved, was carried, in the dead of night, from Versailles to Saint-Denis, and then thrown into the tombs of the kings of France!
A bright, laughing face, prettily framed round by a black veil passed over the head and tied under the chin a traveling-dress of a nankeen color, studded with blue buttons and trimmed with white braid a light brown cloak over it little neatly-gloved hands, which seized in an instant on one of mine and on one of Owen's two dark blue eyes, which seemed to look us both through and through in a moment a clear, full, merrily confident voice a look and manner gayly and gracefully self-possessed such were the characteristics of our fair guest which first struck me at the moment when she left the postchaise and possessed herself of my hand.
You'll never catch her up, for, early this morning, she drove back to Hidvár in a postchaise with her husband." "That can not be true. Did you see her?" "I saw her through my own field glass.

Accordingly the next Morning before Day, they set out on their Journey, not in a Postchaise, or any Publick Vehicle, for fear of a Discovery, but on Foot; and lodging every Night at some obscure Village, till their Arrival at Paris.
We intended to walk back in the evening, but as the bank where the Marchantia? grew was a mile or two out of the direct road, and it came on rain, we ordered out a postchaise, merely saying we wanted to drive a short way on a road which Mr Kirby indicated to the postilion.

Then the doctor, after consulting Mr. Porson by various upliftings of the eyebrows, returned to the subject.
Having enjoyed ourselves till midnight, I took my leave of them, and was well nigh stifled with caresses: next day, I set out with Strap in a postchaise for Gravesend, where we went on board; and the wind serving, weighed anchor in less than twelve hours.
Rudolph could not comprehend how Madame George had, without advising him, sent or brought Fleur-de-Marie to Paris; he returned home, to send an express to the farm at Bouqueval. The moment he entered the Rue de Plumet, he saw a postchaise stop before the door of the hotel; it was Murphy, who had just returned from Normandy.
The postchaise being ordered, we at once started, and, travelling as fast as the horses could get along, without any accident reached Mr Pengelley's. Harry was of course very anxious to see his mother; and accordingly, leaving Captain Leslie with Mr Pengelley, he and Jerry, with Susan and I, set off for the old house where she and her father lived.
I afterwards heard that he left Elm Park in a postchaise, about two hours after I came away, unattended by a single servant! He was gone three clear days only, at the end of which he returned with Mrs Danby and his son in florid health, too, and one of the finest babies of its age about nine weeks only I had ever seen.
