Within the coach were two passengers such as might have set Sadler's Wells by the ears.

They sat on the same seat, as equals, and their heads lay close together, as confidantes.

The tongues of both ran fast and free.

Long gloves covered the arms of these beauties, and their costumes showed them to be of station.

The crinoline of the two filled all the body of the ample coach from seat to seat, and the folds of their figured muslins, flowing out over this ample outline, gave to the face of each a daintiness of contour and feature which was not ill relieved by the high head-dress of ribbons and bepowdered hair.
