Travelling in a hunting country. I hope you are not hurt much Sir? -- The roadsters album [engraved title] -- An unknown fare. All that luggage by the mail ma'am! quite impossible -- The drag is broke & we are on the bank -- Is the bottom pretty sound? -- A false start -- Taking an inside birth. It strike me we're going to have some rough weather -- No time to lose ma'am! here's the other coach close behind -- Hold hard! You have forgot the Lady! -- An aukward place in a frost -- I'm afraid we have now got into the ditch -- The sleepy gate-keeper -- The old grey loosed his trace again! -- Quite full sir! -- One mile from Gretna. Our Governor in sight! -- An arrival at Gretna, overtaken by the Guardian -- Going to the moors.
