Excerpt from Kit and Kitty, Vol. 2: A Story of West Middlesex
But as it happened, when I came out at last, from all this brick and mortar skittle-ground, into the broad Western road, and knew pretty well where I was and how the land lay, not an omnibus was to be found anywhere, except those that had travelled out before the storm began, and were bound to get home again somehow. And these had some trouble in getting along, with the snow clouding up in the horses' faces, and forming great balls on their feet, and clogging the dumb heavy roll of the frozen wheels. All the 'busses that should have been ploughing and rolling towards Shepherd's Bush and Turnham Green, had resolved to remain in their yards for the night. Let other horses tug, and wallow, and smoke like beds of mortar; let other coachmen flap their breasts and scowl instead of answering.
