Excerpt from Hints on Driving
Getting at length rather tired of such incessant and monotonous nightly work, I applied for a change to my employer, the well-known and much-respected Mr. Chaplin, who at that time had seventeen hundred horses employed in coaching. His reply was characteristic. I cannot find you all day coaches, said he; besides, who am I to get to drive your Mail? I must say, I thought this rather severe at the time, but, good and kind-hearted man ashe was, he did not forget me.
