CHAPTER THREEThe Marquis of Rockingdale drove his dog cart down Piccadilly.
He was not surprised that people stared at him in admiration.
He had just received his new dog cart from his coachbuilders and it was partly of his own design.
The dog cart had become fashionable lately and was modelled on the phaeton, which had been in constant use amongst the bucks and beaux of the Regency.
The wheels were reduced in size and the body itself was not so high.
The new look had delighted many of the Country Squires and this was because their dogs could run underneath it, which protected them from being endangered by other traffic.
The Marquis had trained two highly bred Dalmatians to run under a dog cart that he had already acquired. And with the new one there would be more room for the dogs.
