The Slowcoach

CHAPTER 7
1/15


MR.

LENOX'S YOUNG BROTHER Mr.Lenox's young brother met the party on the Oxford platform.

He was accompanied by two of his friends, who were dressed in grey flannels and straw hats, and were smoking very large and beautiful pipes.

Mr.
Lenox's young brother introduced these friends as Fizzy and Shrimp, and then they packed themselves into three hansoms and drove off.
Mr.Lenox's young brother led the way with Janet and Mary.

Fizzy (at least, Hester thought it was Fizzy, but it may have been Shrimp) came next with Hester, Horace, and Gregory; and then came Shrimp (unless it was Fizzy) with Robert and Jack.
Oxford hansoms are the worst in the world, but seldom has a ride been more delightful.
