So I awoke from my lethargy, and springing up sent not for my shield and spear, but for an "Indicateur des Chemins de Fer." I would go to Tlemcen and get to the bottom of it.

"You're a sure fierce hustler just eat it up. Me I've only ten an' a half, an' for a hard week... See you on the nine-forty. Sure now. We can just fool around until the dancin' begins. A lot of my gentlemen friends'll be there in the afternoon." Two blocks from the laundry, where an arc-light showed a gang of toughs on the corner, Saxon quickened her pace.
"Quite excellent," he replied courteously. "There is a train at nine-forty. Will that suit you?" Drishna nodded and stood up. Mr. Carlyle had a very uneasy feeling that he ought to do something but could not suggest to himself what.
"Well, that we'll consider...

As we are going towards the station, suppose we take the nine-forty train to Aldbrickham?
This black, almost imperceptible speck, which looked to me like a rock, seemed at least three miles from land. "I continued: "'But, captain, there must be a hundred fathoms of water in that place.

Forgive me if I have said too much. For the rest, give us the pleasure of your company here for as long as you find it convenient. We will abjure politics, and you shall give me my revenge at golf." Mannering shook his head. "I am very much obliged to you," he said, "but there is only one course open to me. I must go back and make my plans. If I could have a carriage for the nine-forty!"
"How is it, Paul? Anything doing? Seemed to me I heard an awful racket over your way; but the nine-forty train was just coming in at the station, and drowned it out. Did they tackle you, son?" demanded Jack, eagerly. "Did they? Well, I guess some! Ask Ted," chuckled the one addressed. "You're laughing, and that tells me you enjoyed the circus.

He arrived at Weald Lodge, by the testimony of the driver and by that of Constable Wiseman, whom the car had passed, at about nine-forty. Mr. John Minute at this time was alone; his suspicious nature would not allow the presence of servants in the house during the interview which he was to have with his nephew.
"I am going to New York on the nine-forty train and I shall take the first steamer outward bound I need a rest! I'll go anywhere but to the Holy Land!" We went to Panama.
