He's to see me at half-past twelve, and I shall make sure of his coming down to Gardencourt which he will do the more readily as he has already seen my father several times, both there and in London. There's an express at two-forty-five, which I shall take; and you'll come back with me or remain here a few days longer, exactly as you prefer." "I shall certainly go with you," Isabel returned.
"If there are any saddle-horses," he answered, "I will have them here before that two-forty-five freight arrives, but," and he smiled, "I am not so sure I can supply the proper riding-suit. And the most I hope for in saddles is just a small Mexican." "A Mexican is easy riding," she said, "on a mountain road."
The four-twenty was the first train I could have taken the two-forty-five express is a through train and don't stop at Medford and, as I say, I was just going out of the door when Dr. Pitts's second despatch came, countermanding the first, and telling us that the patient had died.

I don't know of any other horses in twenty miles, unless it's a wild band that passed this morning. They stopped down the draw, nosing out the bunch grass for an hour or two, then skidooed." Tisdale paused a thoughtful moment then asked: "When is the next freight due on this siding?" "Two-forty-five. And say" he slapped his knee at the sudden thought "that's your chance, sure.
We are to have dinner at two rather than in the evening, partly on account of the children and partly on account of the maids, to whom I have promised the time after they have finished the necessary work.

I can, if it is necessary, tell Mary Jane to put an extra plate on for the evening meal." "Wait and see how things turn out," cautiously advised Levi. "What time is it now, brother?" "Two-forty-five! But I put no faith in that train." "Was that a letter from Sandy you got in the noon mail?" "It was, Matilda. I think it would be safe to have an extra plate put on for him." Matilda opened her eyes.
Moriarty read out his very soul for the benefit of any one who was in the room between ten-thirty that night and two-forty-five next morning.
