Both are difficult to square up with modern knowledge. For example, I've seen travel times from London to Pemberley ranging everywhere from a few hours to five days.

Ecouter sur DEEZER Interprété par Cathy Fernandez sur une musique d'Hélène Triomphe Gerard de Nerval - (1808-1855) Le Relais En voyage, on s'arrête, on descend de voiture ; Puis entre deux maisons on passe à l'aventure, Des chevaux, de la route et des fouets étourdi, L'œil fatigué de voir et le corps engourdi. Et voici tout à coup, silencieuse et verte, Une vallée humide et de lilas couverte, Un ruisseau qui murmure entre les peupliers, Et la route et le bruit sont bien vite oubliés! On se couche dans l'herbe et l'on s'écoute vivre, De l'odeur du foin vert à loisir on s'enivre, Et sans penser à rien on regarde les cieux... Hélas ! une voix crie : « En voiture, messieurs! » Biographie de Gerard de Nerval Autres textes chantés de cet auteur
