Firstthere would come a couple of well-bred horses,driven either by a gentleman who continuallyand impatiently shook the thickly settlingdust from his cloak, or by an imperturbablegroom in livery. Behind these there would be xii THE LOST ROAD another horse, or may be two, being led fromthe back seat. Possibly there would be anothercarriage attached to the first. This entouragewas being engineered to or from one of thosecharming summer places on Cape Cod which— more rare then than they are to-day be-cause of their inaccessibility — had somethingof the air of feudal estates. It was quite neces-sary to bring your own tea and tacks and cutsugar and glue in those days, for the villagestores furnished no such luxuries and few ne-cessities.
