Death in the Dark Walk
“Here, in the yards of the many inns that stood on the main thoroughfare – The Ship, The King’s Head, The White Hart and The George, to name but a few – the public carriages drew up every day to receive their passengers.

The chaise was fast, smart and expensive and lived up to its nickname, ...The Flying Coach. The stage, by contrast, was slow and lumbering, could be more sociable, but was decidedly cheaper. On the rare occasions that John had used it, he had rather enjoyed himself despite the jolting and general discomfort.
