The girls and boys amused themselves studying the time-table and in gazing out of the window, and Dunston Porter told them of some of his experiences while roving in various portions of the globe, for, as my old readers are aware, he was a great traveler.
According to the time-table, the Orient Express stops at Cologne nine minutes. This time it stopped eleven. The station master held it up.

'You will get in Wimbledon 10.5 leave 10.40 leave Waterloo 11.30, he said.
