The day before Sir John Moore's troops had returned from Spain, and the officers were hurrying up to London. As it was understood we should be detained at least ten days before sailing, Captain Harington and myself thought we would take a run up to town, and started in a post-chaise for that purpose. But at Petersfield..., where we stopped to change horses, there were no fresh ones to be got, the house being filled with officers back from Spain, waiting for conveyance to London. It was go or return with us, for we had no time to wait, So THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN R. W. EASTWICK. 245 Captain Harington and I Went to the stables, where we seized hold of a pair of horses, which the post-boy swore we should not have.
