- Abstract:
- A lady, wearing over her dress a military coat with epaulets, stands plying her whip as she drives the two small white ponies who pull her carriage past the Cox Heath signpost. Her clothes mirror those of the fat and elderly militia officer who sleeps in the seat at her side, his hands clasped around his sword. A large dog sits in front of her. Observing the spectacle from a side road are three country travellers in a covered wagon which bears a sign "The Maidstone Common Stage Waggon".
