Arrived Southampton after a dreadful coach trip on some of the worst dashed roads in England. Had to continue with only three horses when one of the team had gone doolally during the night. Couldn't handle the roads either, I suppose. As well as this, we had to jettison a passenger to reduce the load on the way. He certainly wasn't too happy about it all, but when I threatened to shoot his bollocks off, he demurred. My posterior having recovered from the journey, I shall endeavour to find lodgings till I embark.
