"More charms displayed in form and feature." Page 209: 'break', possibly (Oxford English Dictionary), break^{3} - n. Carriage-frame with no body, for breaking in young horses; large wagonette. Seems correct in context: "Seems that break went wrong going down-hill. Well, no "safety tandem" for _me_ again--can't _stand 'em_, myself, not being in favour of infanticide. Give _me_ a good old mail cart!" [^ represents a superscript.] End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 108, May 4th, 1895, by Various
