j32 A TOUR THROUGH
coaches to be had ; no carriages of any
kind, either for love or money. In short,
we had not got half through the street, be-
fore we had several offers from gentlemen
of our acquaintance, who lamented exceed-
ingly the indignity we had suffered, and
wondered much, that we did not rather
send sorward a servant for another coach,
and wait (in the heat of the sun) till it
arrived.
This is not the only time that Philip's
wits have been of service to us on such oc-
casions. A few nights ago, we had a dis-
pute with our coachman; turned him off,
and had not provided another. We were
unfortunately engaged to go to the great
conversation. What was to be clone ?—No
such thing as walking.—Should we be
caught in the facs, we are disgraced for
ever.— It would be worse than to be
caught in that of adultery.—No alternative,
however. There was not a coach to be
had.
