ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thank you to the Carriage Association of America for helping me sort out the Windsor Mews, specifically what existed, and, more important, what didn’t yet exist, in the spring of 1839.

Thank you to my parents for all those riding lessons I took as a kid—see, they finally paid off.

And a huge thank-you to my editor, Ellen Edwards, for her continued support, guidance, and patience (she knows what I mean).
