These two yearly visits of George’s to Greenway Court--one on his way to the mountains, and the other and longer one when he returned--were the bright times of the year to the earl. This autumn he determined to accompany George back to Mount Vernon, and also to visit the Fairfaxes at Belvoir. The great coach was furbished up for the journey, the outriders’ liveries were brought forth from camphor-chests, and the four roans were harnessed up. George followed the same plan as on his first journey with Lord Fairfax two years before--driving with him in the coach the first stage of the day, and riding the last stage.
