| Title | Fanny FitzHerbert to her brother, Sir Henry: "perhaps when you leave Tissington for Farleigh, it will be better for you and Agnes (Darby and Joan) to travel `tout doucement' in the open carriage, or coach, with your own horses, and sleep one night on the road - like former times. You neither of you greatly admire the new fashion of being whirled like a cannon ball, whizzing through the air till one's senses are nearly gone. What say you? All the young tribe can go by rail". 16 July |
