It was a cold grey day in late November.The weather had changed overnight，when a

　　backing wind brought a pale sky and a muzzling rain with it，and although it was now only a little after two o’clock in the afternoon the gray of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills，surrounding them in mist.It would be dark by four.The air was cold，and for all the tightly closed windows it influenced the inside of the coach.The leather seats felt damp to the hands，and there must have been a small crack in the roof，because now and again little drips of rain fell softly through，polluting the leather and leaving a dark-blue stain like a spot of ink.The wind came in，at times shaking the coach as it traveled round the bend of the road，and in the exposed places on the high ground it blew with such force that the whole body of the coach trembled and swayed，rocking between the high wheels like a drunken man.

　　The driver，muffled(裹住) in a great coat to his ears，bent almost double in his seat in a faint endeavor to gain shelter from his own shoulders.The few passengers pressed together for warmth，exclaiming all together when the coach sank into a heavier rut(车辙) than usual，and one old fellow，who had kept up a constant complaint ever since he had joined the coach at Truro，rose from his seat in anger；and，feeling with the window-frame，let the window down with a crash，bringing a shower of rain upon himself and his fellow-passengers.He thrust his head out and shouted up to the driver，scolding him in a angry voice for a rogue and a murderer；that they would all be dead before they reached Bodmin if he persisted in driving at dangerous speed；they had no breath left in their bodies as it was，and he would never travel by coach again.
