"The bump on his head was so slight that the jarvey's bowler hat still remained on his head, and the horse, who had all the sense of responsibility required by the situation, stopped dead with the jarvey plastered affectionately across his back, and waited for somebody to do something."
- Frank O'Connor, 'A Salesman's Romance'.
n. 1. The driver of a hackney coach.
Hands stuck in his trousers pockets, jarvey off for the day, singing.
Joyce, Ulysses, 4
