"How so?"
"You are a wheelwright, and have probably a wheel you can sell me, and then I could set out again directly."
"I have no ready-made wheel to suit your gig, for wheels are sold in pairs, and it is not easy to match one."
"In that case, sell me a pair of wheels."
"All wheels, sir, do not fit all axle-trees."
"At any rate try."
"It is useless, sir; I have only cart-wheels for sale, for ours is a small place."
"Have you a gig I can hire?"
The wheelwright had noticed at a glance that the tilbury was a hired vehicle; he shrugged his shoulders.
"You take such good care of gigs you hire, that if I had one I would not let it to you."
