Upon his coming out and getting up to take his place beside me on the box, what should I see but the old familiar face that had been almost next to me at Eton for more than four years. There never was such a country for foul weather in winter time, I verily believe, as the country around Bangor ; and, as on former occasions, it was raining, and blowing, and hailing, and snow- ing, and the elements seemed to be vying with each other which could be the most disagreeable ; it was as horrible a day... as could be, as was the usual state of things in those latitudes. I was in a thick weather- proof old macintosh, such as coachmen used to wear in those days, and had on a queerish-looking water- proof hat, and looked, I conclude, more like a regular 98 'DOWN THE ROAD: son of Jehu than a gentleman who had been educated at that ' seat of rehgious education and sound learn- ing ' where we had both been for so long together. He did not seem to recognise his old schoolfellow in the least ; and as he made himself as snug and water- tight as circumstances would admit of, he said, ' Well coachman, this is a beastly day ; we shall have a foulish time of it, I suspect' ' Yes, sir, ' I said ; ' I'm afraid you'll get very wet.
