　　People who traveled had to put up with many discomforts which we do not have now ,and of course they traveled far more slowly. Roads were very bad indeed and you often found you could not get along at all because of the mud.In dry weather many places were thick in dust and when it was stormy trees might fall across the road and it was nobody’ s business to clear them away.

　　Ordinary people traveled on foot or on horseback, but everyone who had enough money kept private coach（私人马车）.There were public coaches ,too ,called “stage-coaches”（驿站马车）,because long journeys took several days and were done in stages ,with stops at night at hotels. Some stage-coaches ran only in the summer months ,others all the year round. They were very slow and crowded and passages often became ill on the way because of the shaking of the coaches.
