A man wearing a top hat and brandishing a long horse-whip sits at the front of a coach pulled by four horses. At least nine people are sitting on the roof, with the two at the back perhaps being footmen. In the far distance, dense foliage and a church.
Spend half an hour at Hyde Park Corner and notice the number of ways in which it is possible for man to drive. The difference may be slight between any two drivers, but among the hundreds what a wide range there is of character and skill! Good carriages are many, good horses not so many, and good drivers much fewer. Many men who know what they are talking about, tell us that our carriages are driven worse than they ever were, comparatively speaking; that is to say, the good drivers have not increased in proportion to the number of vehicles.
