Setting is 1880's San Fran - at the largest hotel in town (The Palace - in case you were wondering). One character needs another character to find hired transportation for the group. I *think* the vehicle would be a cabriolet (cab). First question, can I just call it a 'cab' or does that look too anachronistic?
I'm also wondering exactly how the cab would be hired. Are they waiting outside the hotel in a line? Would the hirer have to stand in the street waving them down? Something else?
Here's the line:
"Here's what we're going to do," Mr. Sharpe said in a calm voice. "Leo, go back through the hotel and out onto the street. Hail a cab, and have the driver go around back to Jessie Street. We will meet you there."
Many thanks for all comments.
