The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom Chapter 28

In which a foreign gentleman suffers the rudeness and company of various motley travellers in a crowded stage-coach, where sharp tongues engage in a spirited quarrel worthy of the bustling taverns by the Thames. Amidst this lively contest, the gentleman’s attention is gently caught by a modest young woman, prompting a quiet resolve to bridge the gulf of language with courteous civility.
