We have studied the subject a great deal, and we think the best way is, to throw yourself out, and trust to chance for alighting on your feet.

If you make the driver alight first, and then throw yourself upon him, you will find that he breaks your fall materially.

In the event of your contemplating an offer of eightpence, on no account make the tender, or show the money, until you are safely on the pavement.

It is very bad policy attempting to save the fourpence.

You are very much in the power of a cabman, and he considers it a kind of fee not to do you any wilful damage.
