  • The roadsters album [engraved title]
  • An unknown fare. All that luggage by the mail ma'am! quite impossible
  • The drag is broke & we are on the bank
  • Is the bottom pretty sound?
  • A false start
  • Taking an inside birth. It strike me we're going to have some rough weather
  • No time to lose ma'am! here's the other coach close behind
  • Hold hard! You have forgot the Lady!
  • An aukward place in a frost
  • I'm afraid we have now got into the ditch
  • The sleepy gate-keeper
  • The old grey loosed his trace again!
  • Quite full sir!
  • One mile from Gretna. Our Governor in sight!
  • An arrival at Gretna, overtaken by the Guardian
