OFF-SIDE HORSE.--O heavens! I am too stiff to move, and this brute will
pull my head off. NEAR-SIDE HORSE.--Keep it on one side, and you spiles his purchase. WATERMAN--Come up, you old brute! OFF-SIDE HORSE.--Old brute! What evidence of a low mind!--[_The stout woman and fat family ascend the steps of the coach_]. COACH.--O law! oh, law! Week! week! O law!--O law! Week! week! NEAR-SIDE HORSE--Do you hear how the poor old thing's a sufferin'?--She must feel it a good deal to have her squabs sat on by everybody as can pay for her. She was built by Pearce, of Long-acre, for the Duchess of Dorsetshire. I wonder her perch don't break--she has been crazy a long time. WATERMAN.--Snow-hill--opposite the Saracen's Head. NEAR-SIDE HORSE.--I know'd it! COACHMAN.--Kuck! kuck! WHIP.--Whack! whack! OFF-SIDE HORSE.--Pull away, my dear fellow; a little extra exertion may save us from flagellation. NEAR-SIDE HORSE.--Well, I'm pulling, ain't I? |
