Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

An interesting read, Dostaf.

“In the conduct of the business Baxendale’s energy was* judgement were equal to the necessity. Night after night he traversed the roads in his special travelling carriage, on the look-out to see that none of his employees slackened in their duty, as often as not passing by by-roads so as to double back on the drivers, who in consequence never knew whether he was before or behind them; so, general vigilance thus became the rule of all.”

* I can't quite make sense of that, should it possibly be and rather than was?
