Excerpt from The Ornaments Discovered: A Story

On a dark cold night, in the middle of November, as Mr. Hardy was travelling in a stagecoach from London to Norwich, he was roused from a sound sleep, at the end of a stage, by the coachman's opening the door of the carriage, and begging leave to look for a parcel which was in the box under Mr. Hardy's seat. The opening of the door admitted a violent gust of wind and rain, which was very unpleasant to the feelings of the sleeping passengers, and roused them to a consciousness of the situation of those who were on the outside of the vehicle. "I hope, coachman, you have a good thick coat on, to guard you against the cold and the wet," said Mr. Hardy.
