CHAPTER XXXVI 540
" Old John and his wife: he would have none else. He is quite broken down, they say."
" Have you any sort of conveyance?" " We have a chaise, ma ' am, a very handsome chaise."
" Let it be got ready instantly; and if your post-boy can drive me to Ferndean before dark this day, I ' ll pay both you and him twice the hire you usually demand."
