The cabman appears briefly as the driver of the hired carriage Pierre takes to the Patriarch’s Ponds. He remains a background figure, defined only by this small service and given no further story or personal history.
Description
The text identifies him only as the male driver of a hired cab. It gives no details of his age, build, coloring, hair, eyes, face, or clothing, so these should remain unspecified. His visible role is practical and unassuming, seated at the reins.
