Post-chaise


"If I had no duties, and no reference to futurity, I would spend my life in driving briskly in a post-chaise* with a pretty woman, but she should be one who could understand me, and would add something to the conversation."

Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784).

*: "The post-chaise was a fast carriage for traveling post in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It usually had a closed body on four wheels, sat two to four persons, and was drawn by two or four horses" (wikipedia).
