"Pelatih panggung tua itu bergemuruh di sepanjang jalan berdebu yang membentang dari Maplewood ke Riverboro. Hari itu sama hangatnya dengan pertengahan musim panas, meskipun itu hanya pertengahan Mei, dan Tuan Jeremiah Cobb mendukung kuda sebanyak mungkin, namun tidak pernah melupakan fakta bahwa ia membawa surat. Perbukitannya banyak, dan tali kekang terbaring longgar di tangannya saat dia terkulai di kursinya dan mengulurkan satu kaki dan kaki dengan mewah ke atas dasbor. Topinya yang bertepi lebar dan usang sudah tersingkap dengan baik di matanya, dan memutar pangkal tembakau di pipi kirinya."

The old stage coach was rumbling along the dusty road that runs from Maplewood to Riverboro. The day was as warm as midsummer, though it was only the middle of May, and Mr. Jeremiah Cobb was favoring the horses as much as possible, yet never losing sight of the fact that he carried the mail. The hills were many, and the reins lay loosely in his hands as he lolled back in his seat and extended one foot and leg luxuriously over the dashboard. His brimmed hat of worn felt was well pulled over his eyes, and revolved a quid of tobacco in his left cheek.
