Explore "Hudson River Bracketed" by Edith Wharton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the cobwebby coach-house of the old stable she found the man-of- all-work, Jacob, who was chauffeur when he was not gardener and dairyman, lying on the floor with his head under the car.

-"Not on your life. I'm going down to Paul's Landing in her this minute."
