Now, Hester, will thou go in a tax-cart as will be here in less than ten minutes from t' George, and bring them back here, and they must stay all night for to be ready to see him to-morrow before he goes? It's dree weather for them, but they'll not mind that. He had used words as if he was making a request to Hester; but he did not seem to await her answer, so sure was he that she would go.
"Here comes the drag," said Baker. "We can drive nearly all the way, unless you prefer riding." "Of course not. Keep your hand steady, Charley, and if you don't bring him down with that saw-handle, you're not your uncle's nephew." With these words we mounted into the tax-cart, and set off for the meeting-place.
Mr Mangle, the farmer, as it happened, was going to-morrow morning in his tax-cart as far as Framley Mill, and would be delighted if Mr Crawley would take a seat. He must remain at Framley the best part of the afternoon, and hoped that Mr Crawley would take a seat back again.
He read it through: his ill-omened smile expanded to a grin that was undisguisedly diabolical. With a scissors he clipt his own name where it occurred from the thin sheet, and then, in red ink and Roman capitals, he scrawled a line or two across the interior of the letter, enclosed it in an envelope, directed it, and then rang the bell. He ordered the tax-cart and two horses to drive tandem.
"He stopp'd to t' leaders' meeting. He'll be along in a little bit." "Can he bring a wool-comber's suit and apron, and be at the gates, here, with-his tax-cart in a couple of hours?" "Yes; I know he can." "Martha, can you get me some bread and meat, without any one knowing?" "Ay; I can. Mary'll be up stairs wi' t' baby, I'se warrant.
Matters were in this state, when a man dressed in a fustian jacket, like a groom, drove up to the side of the road, in a tax-cart; he immediately got down, and tearing open the door of the doctor's chaise, lifted out the young lady, and deposited her safely in his own conveyance, merely adding "I say, master, you're in luck this morning, that Mr.
Very different was the reception Bingham Blake got, as he drove up with his tandem and tax-cart: half-a-dozen had kept themselves idle, each in the hope of being the lucky individual to come in for Bingham's shilling. "Och, Mr Bingham, shure I'm first," roared one fellow. But the first, as he styled himself, was soon knocked down under the wheels of the cart by the others.
His morality, however, I suppose, was quite good enough for the world, and he had never committed himself in any of those ways of which that respectable tribunal takes cognizance. 'So that d d fellow Lake is down here still; and that stupid, scheming lubber, Larkin, driving him about in his tax-cart, instead of minding his business. I could not see him to-day.
At his door she now presented herself, and, having explained to his wife that most urgent business required her to go at once to Barchester, begged that Farmer Subsoil would take her thither in his tax-cart. The farmer did not reject her plan, and, as soon as Prince could be got into his collar, they started on their journey. Mrs.
So saying, he opened the door, and taking the poor fellow by the collar, flung him at my feet in the tax-cart. We had already lost some time, and the roan mare was put to her fastest speed to make up for it. Our pace became, accordingly, a sharp one; and as the road was bad, and the tax-cart no "patent inaudible," neither of us spoke. To me this was a great relief.
