A beautiful nap in the gig

Colored illustration of a young woman and a sleeping man traveling in a horse-drawn carriage.

Priscilla Lammeter drives the gig while her father naps in the seat beside her. They are returning to the Warrens after having dinner at the Red House. Nancy, Priscilla’s sister and mistress of the Red House, tried to convince them to stay for tea, but Priscilla, worried about the household tasks, wished to return home.
