any cover from the sun, and before it can be made sound 

 and comfortable a greater expense has to be incurred than 

 would have purchased a substantial new carriage. It is 

 no uncommon thing for old ram-shakle traps to be painted 

 up and sold " a bargain " ! but the unfortunate purchaser 

 finds, after spending pounds upon it without being able to 

 make it comfortable and secure, that the bargain is anything 

 but a bargain to him, and is very glad to sell it for very 

 much less than he gave for it.
