Nervous Old Party (who has been making himself rather a nuisance all the way). "A—a—surely, my dear Sir, this Galloping up these Hills is extremely a—a—to say the least, reckless!"

Jack Highflyer (Proprietor and Coachman, who has been spirting his Team up several short rises). "Gallop! Call this Galloping? By George, just you wait till Return Stage—see me go down 'em! Greased Lightning a fool to it!"

[Result as desired. Old Gentleman clears out shortly, for purpose of writing to "Times," and so makes way for Fair Passenger behind.]
