Note 9 — HUNTING A HOME IN BRAZIL.
Reading edition
After the return of the Emperor from the seat of war, he and the Empress were seen in their coach, with six horses and a number of outriders. She endeavored to return the courtesies of those on the street by an almost incessant series of motions of the head from side to side, while he maintained an attitude of dignified complacence.
The horses are managed by men seated upon the saddle-horse of each pair, and they dash through the street at a rapid gait, a bugle being sounded frequently by a man riding in advance, so as to have the way cleared for the passage of the royal cortege.
