With an outfit of two, three, or four of such, I have made journeys of as much as eighteen hundred miles in a single season, usually from post to post, averaging in distance about two hundred miles a week, with as much regularity as is done today by the steam-car its five hundred miles a day; but those days are gone, and, though I recognize the great national advantages of the more rapid locomotion, I cannot help occasionally regretting the change.
Beyond the Clayhanger garden-plot, as yet uncultivated, and its high boundary wall, ran the great silent thoroughfare, Trafalgar Road, whose gas-lamps reigned in the nocturnal silence that the last steam-car had left in its wake.
Now the girls arrived at the commencement of the steam-car track, where a huge engine and tram were waiting, and as they turned another corner, the long perspective of Trafalgar Road, rising with its double row of lamps towards fashionable Bleakridge, was revealed to Hilda.
And yet was there not the wisdom of centuries in, "I don't generally ask for things that I really want?" Suddenly the boy wriggled, and gave a sound of joy that was almost a yell. "Look!" he cried. The covered top of the steam-car could just be seen gliding along above the high wall that separated Edwin's garden from the street. "Yes," Edwin agreed. "Funny, isn't it?"
