left out of the 15,000 that used to be, Mr Frisbee's licence number was 14,037. Mr Frisbee begins by saying "There's a funny ring about gold" "a blind man could tell a falling sovereign from a shilling. But perhaps you have never heard the sound sovereigns make when they fall on the pavement - fifty jimmy-o'-goblins coming down like hail?" Henry says no he had not, Mr Frisbee tells him that he never will because "the days when the toffs and the mashers used to chuck there money about is gone, finally and forever there isn't any money to chuck about today." Mr frisbee gets side-tracked and describes the past days as happier times and that things where cheaper. Mr Frisbee continues with the sovereign story, he said that when he was in his cab one morning outside a nightclub in Regent Street, a man who Mr frisbee describes as "a toff in evening dress" threw sovereigns on to the floor and that all the drivees scrambled down to collect them, he then threw another handful and the drivers again collected them. Mr Frisbee says that there was over 50 sovereigns picked up. Mr Frisbee describes the mornings standing in Leicester square as cold, that he used to meet 6 people and they would go to The Continental when it opened at 5 o'clock and started the day with "a pint of rum and a jug of hot water". The passengers who use the cab are described as the curious, the romantic, the people who have had to much to drink and find it comical, Mr Frisbee is said to take a bleak view of the people who saw the Handsome as a joke. Mr frisbee is said to have commented on carrying old gentlemen who remember what London was like before the Boer War. He goes on to describe the difficulties in getting a Hansom cab repaired, that he needed a new pump shaft, after trying various places he finally managed to track down an 80-year-old man who he persuaded to do the job even though he had retired. He describes the pride they had in their horses and that they used to call the embankment "the racecourse". Henry finishes the chapter giving a brief account of the invention and inventor of the Hansom cab. Henry gives the name Joseph Aloysius Hansom born in York in 1903. he says
