DescriptionDavy was coming downstairs, when what he supposes was Buckland's coach drove away. He hopes to meet and should come to the Salopian Coffee House, but fears there will be no chance of finding Buckland. He will remain indoors until a dinner engagement. Invites Buckland to dine on the same day next week, when he will have English wild boar, 'not antediluvian'.
