In both +countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State +preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were +settled for ever. + +It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and +seventy-five. Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at +that favoured period, as at this. Mrs. Southcott had recently +attained her five-and-twentieth blessed birthday, of whom a +prophetic private in the Life Guards had heralded the sublime +appearance by announcing that arrangements were made for the +swallowing up of London and Westminster. Even the Cock-lane +ghost had been laid only a round dozen of years, after rapping +out its messages, as the spirits of this very year last past +(supernaturally deficient in originality) rapped out theirs. +Mere messages in the earthly order of events had lately come to +the English Crown and People, from a congress of British subjects +in America: which, strange to relate, have proved more important +to the human race than any communications yet received through +any of the chickens of the Cock-lane brood. + +France, less favoured on the whole as to matters spiritual than +her sister of the shield and trident, rolled with exceeding +smoothness down hill, making paper money and spending it. +Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she entertained +herself, besides, with such humane achievements as sentencing +a youth to have his hands cut off, his tongue torn out with +pincers, and his body burned alive, because he had not kneeled +down in the rain to do honour to a dirty procession of monks +which passed within his view, at a distance of some fifty or +sixty yards. It is likely enough that, rooted in the woods of +France and Norway, there were growing trees, when that sufferer +was put to death, already marked by the Woodman, Fate, to come +down and be sawn into boards, to make a certain movable framework +with a sack and a knife in it, terrible in history. It is likely +enough that in the rough outhouses of some tillers of the heavy +lands adjacent to Paris, there were sheltered from the weather +that very day, rude carts, bespattered with rustic mire, snuffed +about by pigs, and roosted in by poultry, which the Farmer, Death, +had already set apart to be his tumbrils of the Revolution. +But that Woodman and that Farmer, though they work unceasingly, +work silently, and no one heard them as they went about with +muffled tread: the rather, forasmuch as to entertain any suspicion +that they were awake, was to be atheistical and traitorous. + +In England, there was scarcely an amount of order and protection +to justify much national boasting. Daring burglaries by armed +men, and highway robberies, took place in the capital itself +every night; families were publicly cautioned not to go out of +town without removing their furniture to upholsterers' warehouses +for security; the highwayman in the dark was a City tradesman in +the light, and, being recognised and challenged by his fellow- +tradesman whom he stopped in his character of "the Captain," +gallantly shot him through the head and rode away; the mail was +waylaid by seven robbers, and the guard shot three dead, and then +got shot dead himself by the other four, "in consequence of the +failure of his ammunition:" after which the mail was robbed in +peace; that magnificent potentate, the Lord Mayor of London, was +made to stand and deliver on Turnham Green, by one highwayman, +who despoiled the illustrious creature in sight of all his +retinue; prisoners in London gaols fought battles with their +turnkeys, and the majesty of the law fired blunderbusses in among +them, loaded with rounds of shot and ball; thieves snipped off +diamond crosses from the necks of noble lords at Court +drawing-rooms; musketeers went into St. Giles's, to search for +contraband goods, and the mob fired on the musketeers, and the +musketeers fired on the mob, and nobody thought any of these +occurrences much out of the common way. In the midst of them, +the hangman, ever busy and ever worse than useless, was in +constant requisition; now, stringing up long rows of miscellaneous +criminals; now, hanging a housebreaker on Saturday who had been +taken on Tuesday; now, burning people in the hand at Newgate by +the dozen, and now burning pamphlets at the door of Westminster Hall; +to-day, taking the life of an atrocious murderer, and to-morrow of a +wretched pilferer who had robbed a farmer's boy of sixpence. + +All these things, and a thousand like them, came to pass in +and close upon the dear old year one thousand seven hundred +and seventy-five. Environed by them, while the Woodman and the +Farmer worked unheeded, those two of the large jaws, and those +other two of the plain and the fair faces, trod with stir enough, +and carried their divine rights with a high hand. Thus did the +year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five conduct their +Greatnesses, and myriads of small creatures--the creatures of this +chronicle among the rest--along the roads that lay before them. + + + +II + +The Mail + + +It was the Dover road that lay, on a Friday night late in November, +before the first of the persons with whom this history has business. +The Dover road lay, as to him, beyond the Dover mail, as it lumbered +up Shooter's Hill. He walked up hill in the mire by the side of the +mail, as the rest of the passengers did; not because they had the +least relish for walking exercise, under the circumstances, but +because the hill, and the harness, and the mud, and the mail, were +all so heavy, that the horses had three times already come to a stop, +besides once drawing the coach across the road, with the mutinous +intent of taking it back to Blackheath. Reins and whip and coachman +and guard, however, in combination, had read that article of war +which forbade a purpose otherwise strongly in favour of the argument, +that some brute animals are endued with Reason; and the team had +capitulated and returned to their duty. + +With drooping heads and tremulous tails, they mashed their way +through the thick mud, floundering and stumbling between whiles, +as if they were falling to pieces at the larger joints. As often +as the driver rested them and brought them to a stand, with a +wary "Wo-ho! so-ho-then!" the near leader violently shook his +head and everything upon it--like an unusually emphatic horse, +denying that the coach could be got up the hill. Whenever the +leader made this rattle, the passenger started, as a nervous +passenger might, and was disturbed in mind. + +There was a steaming mist in all the hollows, and it had roamed +in its forlornness up the hill, like an evil spirit, seeking rest +and finding none. A clammy and intensely cold mist, it made its +slow way through the air in ripples that visibly followed and +overspread one another, as the waves of an unwholesome sea might +do. It was dense enough to shut out everything from the light of +the coach-lamps but these its own workings, and a few yards of +road; and the reek of the labouring horses steamed into it, as if +they had made it all. + +Two other passengers, besides the one, were plodding up the hill +by the side of the mail. All three were wrapped to the cheekbones +and over the ears, and wore jack-boots. Not one of the three +could have said, from anything he saw, what either of the other +two was like; and each was hidden under almost as many wrappers +from the eyes of the mind, as from the eyes of the body, of his +two companions. In those days, travellers were very shy of being +confidential on a short notice, for anybody on the road might be +a robber or in league with robbers. As to the latter, when every +posting-house and ale-house could produce somebody in "the Captain's" +pay, ranging from the landlord to the lowest stable non-descript, +it was the likeliest thing upon the cards. So the guard of the +Dover mail thought to himself, that Friday night in November, one +thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, lumbering up Shooter's +Hill, as he stood on his own particular perch behind the mail, +beating his feet, and keeping an eye and a hand on the arm-chest +before him, where a loaded blunderbuss lay at the top of six or +eight loaded horse-pistols, deposited on a substratum of cutlass. + +The Dover mail was in its usual genial position that the guard +suspected the passengers, the passengers suspected one another +and the guard, they all suspected everybody else, and the coachman +was sure of nothing but the horses; as to which cattle he could +with a clear conscience have taken his oath on the two Testaments +that they were not fit for the journey. + +"Wo-ho!" said the coachman. "So, then! One more pull and you're +at the top and be damned to you, for I have had trouble enough to +get you to it!--Joe!" + +"Halloa!" the guard replied. + +"What o'clock do you make it, Joe?" + +"Ten minutes, good, past eleven."
