The next journey the route was changed: it being Appy Ampton day, itwas proposed that they should drive down to the races, and a good complementof travellers was procured (at a cheap fare), including loveliness in gay attire ;and everything would undoubtedly have gone as merrily as wedding bells, hadnot the Only Jones, who was by this time regularly sick of his trumpet, per-sisted in driving.
