TO HAVE A FLY

The sentence: I had a fly to bring her along means: I had to hurry up to bring her along????

Thanks

You have not proved enough context, but I suspect this is a novel set in the 19th century and a fly is a form of carriage, usually one that was used for public hire. Typically, it was a light, swift, enclosed single-axle carriage drawn by a single horse.
