The Thin Red Line, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Thin Red Line, Vol. 1 of 2

But at night it was otherwise.' Many vehicles came dashing down Tinplate Street: carriages, public and private, of every variety, from the rattletrap cab hired off the stand, or the decent coach from the livery stable, to the smart spick-and-span brougham, with its well appointed horses and servants in neat livery. They all set down at the same door, and took up from it at any hour between midnight and dawn, waiting patiently in file in the wide street round the corner, till the summons came as each carriage was required.
