Excerpt from The Lady Evelyn: A Story of to-Day

The porter did not know; the station-master was not sure; but both were agreed that it was a good step to the 'all - by which they signified the Derbyshire mansion of the third Earl of Melbourne.

Might be you'd get a cab, might be you wouldn't, said the porter somewhat loftily - for here was a passenger who had spoken of walking over: that'll depend on Jacob Price and the beer he's drunk this night. Some nights he can drive a man and some nights he can't. I'm not here to speak for him more than any other.

The station-master, who had been giving the whole weight of his intelligence to a brown paper parcel with no address upon it, here chimed in to ask a question in that patronizing manner peculiar to station-masters.

Did his lordship expect you, sir? he asked with some emphasis; as though, had it been the case, he certainly should have been informed of it. The reply found him all civility.
