Question

How far was Hampton from Malden? Was he able to hire a coach? What did he do and where did he reach?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hampton from Malden is 500 miles away; he did not hire a coach because he did not have money since he had spent everything that he had earned on his family and stepfather, and therefore he could not "afford to pay". The explanation of the fact that his family consumed most of his money and stepfather, he was left with little dollars that would not even buy him clothes nor pay his travel expenses. He used to beg for rides from cars as well as wagons. He, however, managed to reach Virginia in Richmond, which was about 82 miles from Hampton.
