And as the year went on, the residents of Edgware were reported to the city authorities because they were without a cooking stool or a tumbril.

The cooking stool was a device used to dunk people, usually women, into a river as a punishment, while the tumbril was a two-wheeled cart used to parade adulterers and fornicators around the village to the mockery of all.

And for London, Edgware needed a tumbril.

It's an hour to get there from Barnet on social transport, on public transport.

On social media.

He went down to the people below on my desiring to be left to myself and stayed till their supper was just ready.

And then desiring a moment's audience, as he called it, he besought my leave to stay that one night, promising to set out either for Lord M's or for Edgware to his friend Belford's in the morning after breakfast.

But if I were against it, he said, he would not stay supper and would attend me about eight next day.

Yet he added that my denial would have a very particular appearance to the people below from what he had told them.

Oh, my dearest life, said he, why will you banish me from your presence? I cannot leave you for so long a time as you seem to expect I should.
