"An accident of a terrible character occurred yesterday in the vicinity of Thorrell Moor in Lancashire. Sir Nicholas Carsland and his son Frederic, were out driving in a barouche when the horse took fright, collided violently with a wall, throwing out the baronet and his son, both of whom were picked up dead. Sir Nicholas is well known in the neighbourhood, as he owned extensive mines there, and his sudden death is generally deplored. The death of his son, Frederic, is all the more lamentable, as he was to have been married in the course of a few weeks."

The room flew round like a teetotum, and Sydney fell back on his seat.
