Since the horses and carriage never make an appearance after SD, I assumed that they were borrowed- perhaps from the Dixons or some other neighbor in order to give Aunt Maria an airing. I imagine that her response to the idea of a 'drive' in Rattletrap (at least that year) was one of "Ladies do not appear in automobiles of this type." Clearly, by PM, she's either mellowed or is driven by the need to investigate to put up with Rattletrap, although I seem to recall that she chews out Billy for forgetting either his cap or jacket.
