“
How
old
are
you
,
James
?
”
said
master
.
“
Nineteen
next
May
,
sir
.
”
“
That
’
s
young
;
what
do
you
think
,
John
?
”
“
Well
,
sir
,
it
is
young
;
but
he
is
as
steady
as
a
man
,
and
is
strong
,
and
well
grown
,
and
though
he
has
not
had
much
experience
in
driving
,
he
has
a
light
firm
hand
and
a
quick
eye
,
and
he
is
very
careful
,
and
I
am
quite
sure
no
horse
of
his
will
be
ruined
for
want
of
having
his
feet
and
shoes
looked
after
.
”
“
Your
word
will
go
the
furthest
,
John
,
”
said
the
master
,
“
for
Sir
Clifford
adds
in
a
postscript
,
’
If
I
could
find
a
man
trained
by
your
John
I
should
like
him
better
than
any
other
;
’
so
,
James
,
lad
,
think
it
over
,
talk
to
your
mother
at
dinner
-
time
,
and
then
let
me
know
what
you
wish
.
”
In
a
few
days
after
this
conversation
it
was
fully
settled
that
James
should
go
to
Clifford
Hall
,
in
a
month
or
six
weeks
,
as
it
suited
his
master
,
and
in
the
meantime
he
was
to
get
all
the
practice
in
driving
that
could
be
given
to
him
.
I
never
knew
the
carriage
to
go
out
so
often
before
;
when
the
mistress
did
not
go
out
the
master
drove
himself
in
the
two
-
wheeled
chaise
;
but
now
,
whether
it
was
master
or
the
young
ladies
,
or
only
an
errand
,
Ginger
and
I
were
put
in
the
carriage
and
James
drove
us
.
At
the
first
John
rode
with
him
on
the
box
,
telling
him
this
and
that
,
and
after
that
James
drove
alone
.
Then
it
was
wonderful
what
a
number
of
places
the
master
would
go
to
in
the
city
on
Saturday
,
and
what
queer
streets
we
were
driven
through
He
was
sure
to
go
to
the
railway
station
just
as
the
train
was
coming
in
,
and
cabs
and
carriages
,
carts
and
omnibuses
were
all
trying
to
get
over
the
bridge
together
;
that
bridge
wanted
good
horses
and
good
drivers
when
the
railway
bell
was
ringing
,
for
it
was
narrow
,
and
there
was
a
very
sharp
turn
up
to
the
station
,
where
it
would
not
have
been
at
all
difficult
for
people
to
run
into
each
other
,
if
they
did
not
look
sharp
and
keep
their
wits
about
them
.
After
this
it
was
decided
by
my
master
and
mistress
to
pay
a
visit
to
some
friends
who
lived
about
forty
-
six
miles
from
our
home
,
and
James
was
to
drive
them
.
The
first
day
we
traveled
thirty
-
two
miles
.
There
were
some
long
,
heavy
hills
,
but
James
drove
so
carefully
and
thoughtfully
that
we
were
not
at
all
harassed
.
He
never
forgot
to
put
on
the
brake
as
we
went
downhill
,
nor
to
take
it
off
at
the
right
place
.
He
kept
our
feet
on
the
smoothest
part
of
the
road
,
and
if
the
uphill
was
very
long
,
he
set
the
carriage
wheels
a
little
across
the
road
,
so
as
not
to
run
back
,
and
gave
us
a
breathing
.
All
these
little
things
help
a
horse
very
much
,
particularly
if
he
gets
kind
words
into
the
bargain
.
