THE HISTORY OF COACHES
BY G. A. T H R U P P.
“O, then, I see Queen Mab has been with you, Drawn with a team of little atomies, Her Waggon spokes made of long spinners’ legs; Her Chariot is an empty hazel-nut, Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub, Time out o’ mind the Fairies’ Coachmakers.” Romeo and Juliet, Act I. Scene 4
