This was not a happy accident, nor was it intended as a spontaneous welcome to the returning son of Clematis. Year in and year out, except when the state of his health prevented, Joel kept a standing engagement with the four-twenty train, and few left town or entered it without his knowledge. "He's filled out considerable, Justin Ware has, but except for that he hasn't changed much.
"There isn't a train till four-twenty," he said. "You've time enough." "Oh no, I haven't!" she cried, blinking at him over the towel as she wiped her face. "Yes, you have. You must drink a cup of tea at any rate. Should I come with you to Keston?" "Come with me? What for, I should like to know? Now, what have I to take him? Eh, dear! His clean shirt and it's a blessing it IS clean.
"I am going by the four-twenty," said Paul again to Clara. "Are you coming then or later?" "I don't know," she said. "I'm meeting my father in Nottingham at seven-fifteen," he said. "Then," she answered, "I'll come later." Dawes jerked suddenly, as if he had been held on a strain. He looked out over the sea, but he saw nothing.

"You come out at the end of the season with three million and a half of saw logs, which with the four dollars' worth of logging added, are worth twenty-one thousand dollars." "Hold on!" cried Daly, "we paid Radway four dollars; we could have done it ourselves for less." "You could not have done it for one cent less than four-twenty in that country," replied Thorpe, "as any expert will testify."

Not the kind you would want " "No, of course not; but Doctor Clark said if you thought best for me to give the money he could telephone to Boston this noon, and they could get it here on the four-twenty train, without any doubt. Oh, Grandmother, please don't say no. Seems to me I can't stand it if you do.

"There is a telegram here from your Uncle Jim ordering you to go to the city on the first train. If you can make it, catch the four-twenty at Frontera.

I am inviting you and others in order that we may talk them over at leisure. A carriage will meet the train arriving at four-twenty. Good- afternoon, Mary. I shall not see you again, as I leave by an early train to-morrow." Even as he spoke, Mr Farrell made his way towards the door with an air of finality which forbade further questioning.
They had a strict rule against tipping in the Idlers', but if he happened to meet Bobby outside, say at the edge of the curb where his car was standing, there was no rule against his receiving something there. Besides, he liked Bobby, anyhow. They all did. He was back in a moment. "One at two-ten and one at four-twenty, sir." "The two-ten sounds about right," announced Bobby.
"Good-morning," he replied. "I expect you are, but my wife is coming up to town this afternoon, and we have only a few days together. We want to be as central as possible. Have you a small suite over the week-end?" "I don't know," she said, and pulled the big book toward her. She ran a finger down the page. "Four-twenty," she said "double bedroom, sitting-room, and bathroom, how would that do?"
