1"Guard!" said the passenger, in a tone of quiet business confidence. The watchful guard, with his right hand at the
2stock of his raised blunderbuss, his left at the barrel, and his eye on the horseman, answered curtly, "Sir." "There is
3nothing to apprehend. I belong to Tellson's Bank. You must know Tellson's Bank in London. I am going to Paris on
4business. A crown to drink. I may read this?" "If so be as you're quick, sir." He opened it in the light of the
5coach-lamp on that side, and read--first to himself and then aloud: "'Wait at Dover for Mam'selle.' It's not long, you
6see, guard. Jerry, say that my answer was, RECALLED TO LIFE." Jerry started in his saddle. "That's a Blazing strange
7answer, too," said he, at his hoarsest. "Take that message back, and they will know that I received this, as well as if
8I wrote. Make the best of your way. Good night." With those words the passenger opened the coach-door and got in; not at
9all assisted by his fellow-passengers, who had expeditiously secreted their watches and purses in their boots, and were
10now making a general pretence of being asleep. With no more definite purpose than to escape the hazard of originating
11any other kind of action. The coach lumbered on again, with heavier wreaths of mist closing round it as it began the
12descent. The guard soon replaced his blunderbuss in his arm-chest, and, having looked to the rest of its contents, and
13having looked to the supplementary pistols that he wore in his belt, looked to a smaller chest beneath his seat, in
14which there were a few smith's tools, a couple of torches, and a tinder-box. For he was furnished with that completeness
15that if the coach-lamps had been blown and stormed out, which did occasionally happen, he had only to shut himself up
16inside, keep the flint and steel sparks well off the straw, and get a light with tolerable safety and ease (if he were
17lucky) in five minutes. "Tom!" softly over the coach roof. "Hallo, Joe." "Did you hear the message?" "I did, Joe." "What
18did you make of it, Tom?" "Nothing at all, Joe." "That's a coincidence, too," the guard mused, "for I made the same of
19it myself." Jerry, left alone in the mist and darkness, dismounted meanwhile, not only to ease his spent horse, but to
20wipe the mud from his face, and shake the wet out of his hat-brim, which might be capable of holding about half a
21gallon. After standing with the bridle over his heavily-splashed arm, until the wheels of the mail were no longer within
22hearing and the night was quite still again, he turned to walk down the hill. "After that there gallop from Temple Bar,
23old lady, I won't trust your fore-legs till I get you on the level," said this hoarse messenger, glancing at his mare.
24"'Recalled to life.' That's a Blazing strange message. Much of that wouldn't do for you, Jerry! I say, Jerry! You'd be
25in a Blazing bad way, if recalling to life was to come into fashion, Jerry!"
