The Cabman's Story: The Mysteries of a London 'Growler'
Doyle, Arthur Conan
Mystery fiction; Short stories
"Why bless you!" remarked the driver, "I've hardly got fairly
started yet, and here we are at the 'Alexandry.' I could tell you
many another story as strange as these--and true, mind ye, true as
Gospel. If ever your missus looks in need of a breath of fresh air
you send round for me--Copper Street, number ninety-four--and
I'll give her a turn into the country, and if you'll come up beside
me on the box, I'll tell you a good deal that may surprise you. But
there's your little lad a hollering to you like mad, and the wife
wants to get out, and the other one's a tapping at the window with a
parasol. Take care how you get down, sir! That's right! Don't
forget number ninety-four! Good-day missus! Good-day, sir!" And
the growler rumbled heavily away until I lost sight both of it and of
its communicative driver among the crowd of holiday-makers who
thronged the road which led to the Palace.
