I
wish
Glowry
was
choked
with
her
Man
of
Sin
and
her
Battle
of
Armageddon
,
"
cried
the
other
,
and
the
carriage
rolled
away
over
Putney
Bridge
.
But
this
sort
of
society
was
too
cruelly
genteel
for
Emmy
,
and
all
jumped
for
joy
when
a
foreign
tour
was
proposed
.
The
above
everyday
events
had
occurred
,
and
a
few
weeks
had
passed
,
when
on
one
fine
morning
,
Parliament
being
over
,
the
summer
advanced
,
and
all
the
good
company
in
London
about
to
quit
that
city
for
their
annual
tour
in
search
of
pleasure
or
health
,
the
Batavier
steamboat
left
the
Tower-stairs
laden
with
a
goodly
company
of
English
fugitives
.
The
quarter-deck
awnings
were
up
,
and
the
benches
and
gangways
crowded
with
scores
of
rosy
children
,
bustling
nursemaids
;
ladies
in
the
prettiest
pink
bonnets
and
summer
dresses
;
gentlemen
in
travelling
caps
and
linen-jackets
,
whose
mustachios
had
just
begun
to
sprout
for
the
ensuing
tour
;
and
stout
trim
old
veterans
with
starched
neckcloths
and
neat-brushed
hats
,
such
as
have
invaded
Europe
any
time
since
the
conclusion
of
the
war
,
and
carry
the
national
Goddem
into
every
city
of
the
Continent
.
The
congregation
of
hat-boxes
,
and
Bramah
desks
,
and
dressing-cases
was
prodigious
.
There
were
jaunty
young
Cambridge-men
travelling
with
their
tutor
,
and
going
for
a
reading
excursion
to
Nonnenwerth
or
Konigswinter
;
there
were
Irish
gentlemen
,
with
the
most
dashing
whiskers
and
jewellery
,
talking
about
horses
incessantly
,
and
prodigiously
polite
to
the
young
ladies
on
board
,
whom
,
on
the
contrary
,
the
Cambridge
lads
and
their
pale-faced
tutor
avoided
with
maiden
coyness
;
there
were
old
Pall
Mall
loungers
bound
for
Ems
and
Wiesbaden
and
a
course
of
waters
to
clear
off
the
dinners
of
the
season
,
and
a
little
roulette
and
trente-et-quarante
to
keep
the
excitement
going
;
there
was
old
Methuselah
,
who
had
married
his
young
wife
,
with
Captain
Papillon
of
the
Guards
holding
her
parasol
and
guide-books
;
there
was
young
May
who
was
carrying
off
his
bride
on
a
pleasure
tour
(
Mrs.
Winter
that
was
,
and
who
had
been
at
school
with
May
's
grandmother
)
;
there
was
Sir
John
and
my
Lady
with
a
dozen
children
,
and
corresponding
nursemaids
;
and
the
great
grandee
Bareacres
family
that
sat
by
themselves
near
the
wheel
,
stared
at
everybody
,
and
spoke
to
no
one
.
Their
carriages
,
emblazoned
with
coronets
and
heaped
with
shining
imperials
,
were
on
the
foredeck
,
locked
in
with
a
dozen
more
such
vehicles
:
it
was
difficult
to
pass
in
and
out
amongst
them
;
and
the
poor
inmates
of
the
fore-cabin
had
scarcely
any
space
for
locomotion
.
These
consisted
of
a
few
magnificently
attired
gentlemen
from
Houndsditch
,
who
brought
their
own
provisions
,
and
could
have
bought
half
the
gay
people
in
the
grand
saloon
;
a
few
honest
fellows
with
mustachios
and
portfolios
,
who
set
to
sketching
before
they
had
been
half
an
hour
on
board
;
one
or
two
French
femmes
de
chambre
who
began
to
be
dreadfully
ill
by
the
time
the
boat
had
passed
Greenwich
;
a
groom
or
two
who
lounged
in
the
neighbourhood
of
the
horse-boxes
under
their
charge
,
or
leaned
over
the
side
by
the
paddle-wheels
,
and
talked
about
who
was
good
for
the
Leger
,
and
what
they
stood
to
win
or
lose
for
the
Goodwood
cup
.
All
the
couriers
,
when
they
had
done
plunging
about
the
ship
and
had
settled
their
various
masters
in
the
cabins
or
on
the
deck
,
congregated
together
and
began
to
chatter
and
smoke
;
the
Hebrew
gentlemen
joining
them
and
looking
at
the
carriages
.
There
was
Sir
John
's
great
carriage
that
would
hold
thirteen
people
;
my
Lord
Methuselah
's
carriage
,
my
Lord
Bareacres
'
chariot
,
britzska
,
and
fourgon
,
that
anybody
might
pay
for
who
liked
.
It
was
a
wonder
how
my
Lord
got
the
ready
money
to
pay
for
the
expenses
of
the
journey
.
The
Hebrew
gentlemen
knew
how
he
got
it
.
They
knew
what
money
his
Lordship
had
in
his
pocket
at
that
instant
,
and
what
interest
he
paid
for
it
,
and
who
gave
it
him
.
Finally
there
was
a
very
neat
,
handsome
travelling
carriage
,
about
which
the
gentlemen
speculated
.
"
A
qui
cette
voiture
la
?
"
said
one
gentleman-courier
with
a
large
morocco
money-bag
and
ear-rings
to
another
with
ear-rings
and
a
large
morocco
money-bag
.
"
C'est
a
Kirsch
je
bense
--
je
l'ai
vu
toute
a
l'heure
--
qui
brenoit
des
sangviches
dans
la
voiture
,
"
said
the
courier
in
a
fine
German
French
.
Kirsch
emerging
presently
from
the
neighbourhood
of
the
hold
,
where
he
had
been
bellowing
instructions
intermingled
with
polyglot
oaths
to
the
ship
's
men
engaged
in
secreting
the
passengers
'
luggage
,
came
to
give
an
account
of
himself
to
his
brother
interpreters
.
He
informed
them
that
the
carriage
belonged
to
a
Nabob
from
Calcutta
and
Jamaica
enormously
rich
,
and
with
whom
he
was
engaged
to
travel
;
and
at
this
moment
a
young
gentleman
who
had
been
warned
off
the
bridge
between
the
paddle-boxes
,
and
who
had
dropped
thence
on
to
the
roof
of
Lord
Methuselah
's
carriage
,
from
which
he
made
his
way
over
other
carriages
and
imperials
until
he
had
clambered
on
to
his
own
,
descended
thence
and
through
the
window
into
the
body
of
the
carriage
,
to
the
applause
of
the
couriers
looking
on
.
"
Nous
allons
avoir
une
belle
traversee
,
Monsieur
George
,
"
said
the
courier
with
a
grin
,
as
he
lifted
his
gold-laced
cap
.
