So, passing over all such matters, it is sufficient to say that within a few minutes after the two hours had expired, Kit and his mother arrived at the Notary's door, where a post-chaise was already waiting.
'With four horses I declare!' said Kit, quite aghast at the preparations.

'Well you ARE going to do it, mother! Here she is, Sir.
Here's my mother.

She's quite ready, sir.' 'That's well,' returned the gentleman.

'Now, don't be in a flutter, ma'am; you'll be taken great care of.

Where's the box with the new clothing and necessaries for them ?' 'Here it is,' said the Notary.
