Cockneys (Ch29 / Q7)

I think the relationship between loose-rein drivers and steam-engine drivers is interesting because the two stiles have almost nothing in common. In this chapter Beauty tells us about another stile of driving , the steam-engine stile. Horse = steam-engine, that's what these drivers seem to think. On and on these drivers make the horses go, always at the same speed. Uphill and downhill for miles and miles without any consideration for the horses feelings. Beauty says that he would rather go twenty miles with a good driver than go ten with some of these divers. I would probably agree.
