sympathy with ours. Then the following dialogue 

 occurs : 



" Black driver (to the horses) : ' Hi ! ' 



" Nothing happens, insides scream again. 



" Black driver (to the horses) : ' Ho ! ' 



" Horses plunge and splash the black driver. 



" Gentleman inside (looking out) : ' What on earth!' 

 (Gentleman receives a variety of splashes, and draws 

 his head in again without finishing his question or 

 waiting for an answer.) 



" Black driver (still to the horses) : ' Jiddy ! jiddy !' 

 (Horses pull violently, drag the coach out of the hole, 

 and draw it up a bank, so steep that the black driver's 

 legs fly up into the air, and he goes back amongst the 

 luggage on the roof; but he immediately recovers 

 himself, and cries, still to the horses) : ' Pill ! ' 



" No effect ; on the contrary, the coach begins to 

 roll back on No. 2, which rolls back upon No. 3, which 

 rolls back upon No. 4 and so on until No. 7 is heard 

 to curse and swear nearly a quarter of a mile behind. 



" Black driver (louder than before) : ' Pill I ' 



" Horses make another struggle to get up the 

 bank, and again the coach rolls backward. 



" Black driver (louder than before) : ' Pe-e-ill ! ' 



" Horses make a desperate struggle. 



" Black driver (recovering his spirits) : * Hi ! 

 jiddy! jiddy! pill!' 



" Horses make another effort. 



"Black driver (with great vigour): 'Alley loo! 

 hi ! jiddy ! jiddy ! pill ! alley loo ! ' 



" Horses almost do it. 



" Black driver (with his eyes starting out of his 

 head) : ' See dere ! see dere ! hi ! fiddy ! pill ! ally 

 loo! se — e — e — e!!'
