A very good morning, I do say.
A very good morning indeed.
Why, I do suppose that you must still be suffering under the horrid cold, I would say.
Yes...
Why, you poor thing...
Ever so cold...
Well, not to worry...
I would say that all shall be well eventually...
Most especially if you get a move on with your life.
...
No, no, my dear reader...
There remains little use for weakness here.
Do do something with yourself.
Why, merely dawdling along, I say...
'Tis for fools...
Yes...
Even so, must I get on with the tale...
That remains my duty to you and to the very rest of those who would see it as useful or necessary to read it to its completion.
Indeed.
Even so, why...
Shall I now begin.
Ahem...
Ah, yes, the very things that did occur...
Why, the arrangements were many, I would say...
However and also, why...
Shall I not bother myself with the very many things of it all.
Why, it shall bore you, telling you of every little thing of their agreement.
However, I should say this...
That there remains a strange thing about the lad that did have him agree to this proposal...
Why, a most interesting thing...
For, indeed...
Must I say, that the very young lad did fully know that he and himself was being hunted...
Yes...
However, he did agree to this...
...
"Why?", you say?
Hmmm...
Well, I suppose that is simply and fully one of the many things of the boy by the name of Jake Phyr...
Indeed.
For the very lad, why...
He did very easily agree...
Yes...
Moving along...
'Twas as the carriage did find itself on and along the log...
Moving forward...
Now being towed by the young lad across the log...
They all simply watching outside the window or remaining inside, taking care of their various wares, should yet another bump occur.
Indeed.
Even so, did Fren keep his head out the window...
Ever cherry as always...
Watching the young lad, saying...
Fren: Very good, dear lad... very good then...
As the young lad merely slowly carried it along...
Why, the very reason to be careful.
Indeed.
Do fail to be fooled, the young lad was more than wise enough to know who was strong and who wasn't...
And thereof, why...
Had he pulled faster, would the risk be born that any one of them could harbour serious injury.
Simply one of the many things of working for another.
Indeed.
Even so, why...
Did the very young lad find himself near the edge of the tree...
And thereof, did he pause...
However, before the young lad could call back to those behind him...
Why, did Fren Chavalier immediately call to them.
Fren: Brace yourselves everyone, we shall need to make a jump.
Indeed...
Now, do understand, my dear reader.
These people, they all, had just been dragged into a situation all so suddenly.
Indeed.
Why, were the very many of them full of thoughts and considerations of it.
Yes...
Why, were some a bit uneasy...
Others still perplexed...
But mostly and most assuredly, had they mostly one thing in mind.
Indeed.
That they trusted their ally, Fren Chavalier and his judgement...
Why, most clearly was the very Reginald Walterson...
Indeed.
Why, even in his doubts did he carry, that his friend would lead them to safety.
Even so, Madam Thornberry herself may have held a few questions for him, however, she failed to ask them...
Why, she did know that her friend was no fool, and also, was she a respectful woman. Indeed.
And of the very Florian, why, was the very decision oh-so mystifying...
Yes...
And as for the very Madam Hathaway, why, was she quite, how you say, bothered...
...
Well, I shall leave that tale for later as well...
Indeed.
...
Why, you shall see it...
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Eventually...
Moving along...
Ah, yes...
Did they all brace themselves and hold themselves together...
Answering one after another, in this order...
Reginald, was the first...
Reginald: Fire away, my good lad.
And as for the ladies, why, almost in unison.
Nancy: Yes, very good then, all is well.
Victoria: All is well, I am ready.
And the very last being Florian, who...
Florian: It is all well here as well.
Answered a mere moment after the ladies both...
Indeed.
Even so, why...
Did Fren Chavalier turn back to the lad...
With a smile of course, and say...
Fren: We are all ready, dear lad.
Indeed.
And thereof, did the young lad jump down...
Pulling the carriage along side him...
All so he could come to the ground, they all...
Following right after, one after the other.
Indeed.
The very first, being Fren Chavalier...
Well, I do suppose that you already know of all that.
Indeed.
Even so, did they all come to the ground, one after the other...
Each with a smack to the ground, nothing their carriages could not handle...
To say nothing of the people themselves...
Yes...
Even so, why...
Were they oh-so used to such things.
Indeed.
And of the very same, why...
Did they all, men and women, having finally landed...
Say...
Reginald: Very good then.
Victoria: Indeed. Thank you, dear lad.
Nancy:Yes, why, thank you.
Florian: Yes, thank you.
Reginald: Indeed, a very good thank you, I should say.
Yes, yes, all their very thank yous.
And as for Fren Chavalier, why, did he smile to the lad and thank him once more...
Indeed...
Fren: Thank you, dear lad.
And of the very same, why...
Did the very man get out of his carriage, only to open the door, and with open arms, invite the young lad inside...
And as for the young lad, why...
Was he most surprised at this very thing...
Well, I suppose not most surprised...
Why, the young lad had not seen much like this very carriage...
For...
Fren: Do allow yourself inside, for, indeed, we must get going, and also, you would do little harm to yourself to take a rest inside.
Indeed.
A most perplexing thing, I would say...
Why, I should ask seeing as your world has so many things to say for itself.
Have you ever before heard of a self-driving carriage?
...
Well...
I suppose that the meaning of self-driving means something different for both you and I...
And thereof, I say...
Do consider this...
A carriage that is driven by human hands and feet only.
Indeed.
...
Well, yes, I do suppose that your age does have other forms of self-driving with the cars and the boats that drive by human hands in their own way...
However, I...
...
Now that is a question that I shall...
Perhaps one day...
Answer.
Or rather, it shall be answered for you.
Indeed.
Moving...
...
Hmmm...
Why, it does simply mean what it means is the easiest way to put it.
Why, to be kinder, I would say, that when you see it...
You shall not miss it.
Indeed.
Even so, as I was getting along with it all...
This very sort of carriage does find itself to be of the very most expensive and rare sorts...
Why, 'tis for this and many other reasons that the young lad was quite surprised to see one...
Why, truly, I say...
The very young lad's family has more than enough money to afford one.
Indeed.
Even so, shall I briefly explain how it is that this device works.
Indeed.
And thereof, why...
Does within the very carriage find itself a contraption most similar to those of bicycles...
Yes...
One the very likes of which is fully capable of pulling its respective carriage and then some more.
Indeed.
Why, all the carriages are well fit together with the very same contraption, allowing them all to participate...
...
Yes, yes, much like that very sort of bicycle, indeed.
...
No, no, no...
Hmmm...
Why, it is much harder to carry all five carriages when only one person is at work...
However, indeed...
'Tis simply the way it works...
Yes...
One man or they all get upon these bicycles and ride to the very best of their abilities...
Following that is a very long and varied system of strings and gears and those many other things...
And finally and finally, following them all, is the very movement of the wheels, as they do travel from place to place.
Indeed.
...
Why, the very thing is indeed much slower than a horse-driven carriage...
Why, do people only ever afford the use of one, should they lack a horse...
Indeed.
...
Why, that is a most splendid question.
Indeed.
If it is more expensive, why...
Why not simply afford a horse?
Why, I assure you, the cost of one is far greater than that of an ordinary carriage fit with a horse, yes...
Even so, is the very thing a slower traveller...
Indeed.
And thereof, do I ask you, dear reader...
As to why one would bother with such a contraption.
...
Well, I suppose flaunting your money around is a good reason...
However, there remains yet another strange reason...
To say nothing of the fact that affording a horse is a lot more than just affording a horse...
Indeed...
...
Why, I should agree.
Yes...
Feeding and all that.
However, the other reason finds itself in the very nature of the very contraption...
Indeed.
...
Yes, a most pertinent question...
However, 'tis a thing of beauty, I should say...
That the very device has this odd advantage that is that...
Hmmm...
Why, do ask yourself this, my dear reader...
Should a wild beast see what is going on on the outside of this contraption, what would it see?
...
Yes, a very large carriage, simply moving along...
And for that reason do many common wild beasts fail to attack it.
...
Yes, a most strange thing, truly...
Why, 'tis a thing many researchers of the issue have discovered...
That most beasts shall hesitate to attack a larger beast...
For whatever reason that is...
Indeed.
Why, some argue that they fail to for fear of fighting a losing battle...
Others make sense of it in a form of some spiritualistic nonsense...
Others say it is something of the very respect they hold for other beasts...
Why, the theories are many...
However, the very first remains the most popular amongst researchers...
Indeed.
Why, the very carriage, five places full, moving along...
Indeed.
Most beasts perceive it as a new sort of dragon...
Oh, yes, there is that one theory towards the idea that the beasts are merely cautious of it being a new creature that they know nothing of...
Inadvertently causing many of those who make these carriages to consider making less of them...
Lest some sort of beast finds itself a bit too familiar...
And tries its luck at hunting it.
Indeed.
Why, have some considered making some of these battle-carriages, to cause most monsters to assume that these things are dangerous.
Indeed.
Armed with ballista...
Armed with cannons...
Yes, a very strong suit to it all...
Why, the very idea to cause, well...
You know the rest of it by now.
I shan't bother with it.
Yes...
The very self-driven carriage...
A most interesting device...
One the very sort of which wards of wild beasts...
Why, should a horse be riding it, well, I do suppose I should say...
That oh-so many wild animals simply hunt and kill the very horses that ride carriages without a master well prepared to protect it at all costs...
Indeed.
Even so, is that what I would say about this marvel in engineering...
To say nothing of the paintings about it...
Yes...
Varied, is what I would call it, to make it look even more like a wild animal...
Yes...
Why, some have considered brighter colours to make it look a tad bit poisonous...
However, discussions are being held...
Indeed.
Even so, I do suppose that that finishes describing this piece of machinery...
Yes...
The very work of art designed and created by a genius...
Indeed...
The very brothers Thomas, if I do recall...
Indeed.
And of the very same...
Shall I now continue...
Hmmm...
Any questions?
...
None.
Absolutely perfect.
We shall go on.
Indeed.
Of the very same did the young lad wonder as to how it was that they would get along and onwards...
Only for Fren Chavalier to usher him into his carriage...
A most famous piece of work that it was...
Why, was there in the middle...
A mere few steps sway from where Fren Chavalier would stand to sell goods to the customers outside of the window something like a bicycle...
Yes...
The very thing that the young lad found most strange...
Indeed.
Even so, why...
Did Fren Chavalier close the very door behind them...
And the young lad did slowly turn...
And thereof, why...
Before the young lad could say a word...
Fren: Why, have no worry, my dear lad. For... indeed...
Did the man find himself upon the bicycle-like contraption, closing the window with the very pulling of a string...
And thereof, why...
Could following that the very pulling of strings and shutting of windows be heard by the young lad...
Yes...
A most important part of the whole thing...
Yes...
Why, should the windows remain opened, would the more clever beasts find themselves a meal...
Indeed.
Moving along...
Did the very man soon after start pedalling...
Fren: ... this carriage can be driven all by itself.
Yes!
Indeed!
Why, I already went to to all sorts of trouble explaining it all.
'Tshould mystify you no longer...
And thereof did his carriage and his carriage alone start moving...
A bit difficultily, I must say...
All the while as he pulled and pulled...
Before the very sound...
One as though two pieces of metal suddenly hit each other sounded...
And thereof, following, would Madam Thornberry as well start her travels...
Indeed.
The very metal sound was simple.
A sign that the very carriage was now and suddenly in alignment with the other, even and so as it was not previously...
Indeed...
For if they all started pedalling at once, I would say...
Indeed...
'Twould be most unfortunate for a very long set of circumstances...
Indeed.
Moving along...
Yes...
Was the young lad quite a bit surprised, I must say...
To see a carriage move all on its own...
Even so, following the very sound, why...
Would he hear yet another, and another and finally...
One more.
Indeed.
Each sound followed by the very carriages moving a bit faster and a bit more smoothly, to say nothing of the man before his eyes putting in less effort...
Yes...
Before asking the young lad to...
Fren: Why, my dear lad, if you may...
To move out of the way to the door...
With a hand gesture.
And thereof, why...
Was there a small window through which he could see...
Yes...
One the very sort of which allowed him to tell where he was going...
Indeed.
And of the very same, why, did the lad, the very grand lad, do as he was asked to...
Walking aside and away...
And turning...
All to behold the thing that lay before his eyes, all before...
Fren: And also, my dear lad, you may take a rest upon by bed.
Indeed...
To the side of the bicycle...
Not the one towards the window...
No...
The one to the other side...
Yes...
Was there a room...
Much like the one in the carriage held by Madam Thornberry...
Indeed.
Even so, lay there a bed...
Yes...
One well kept with white sheets...
With a lain blanket and a pillow and all that...
Indeed...
Fren: Yes, yes... you may take a rest...
Why, his voice was only slightly...
Hmmm...
Time is up yet once more...
A pity it is...
Oh well, I do suppose that I shall simply halt myself here...
Indeed.
Do purchase something expensive today, dear reader...
It does you poorly to simply buy the cheaper things...
Truly, I say.
...
Unwise, you say?
Why, whatever you say, my dear reader.
