- Polly and Dolly came in the morning to brush out the cab, and to wash the glass, while Jerry gave Captain and me a grooming.
- Jerry’s wife, Polly, was a little woman with smooth dark hair and dark eyes. His son, Harry, was nearly twelve yearsold, and was a tall, good-tempered boy. His daughter, Dolly, was eight, and shelooked just like her mother.

- Cabby! Hurry up, we’re late for our train at Victoria.Get us there in time for the one o’clock train and we’ll pay you double!
