'Whilst you were asleep the Chesterham train must have started, and the train you got into was the Barstead train, which is more than an hour later. A nice mistake you've made. At this Jimmy put his sleeve to his face and began to cry. He really couldn't help it, he felt very tired, very cold, very miserable, and very frightened.
He leaned back in his seat, feeling tired and cold, and waiting for the train to go on again, when presently a porter stopped at the window. 'All change here! he said. 'But I don't want to change, answered Jimmy. 'This isn't Chesterham, is it? for he had read the name of Barstead on one of the lamps. 'Chesterham! cried the porter, 'I should say not.
Chesterham is fifty miles away on another line. This is Barstead. And if you don't want to stay all night on the siding the best thing you can do is to get out. Jimmy stared at the porter in great astonishment. His eyes and his mouth were opened very widely, and he felt extremely frightened. He rose from the seat and stepped out on to the dark platform. 'I want to go to Chesterham, he said.
It was on an occasion very similar to this that George Barstead, formerly in the employ of the New Asiatic Bank in the capacity of messenger, had been rash enough to laugh at what he had taken for a joke of Mr Bickersdyke's, and had been instantly presented with the sack for gross impertinence. 'Ask Mr Smith began the manager. Then he paused. 'No, never mind, he added.
Coote, after looking all over Barstead, thought that perhaps Jimmy had gone away with the circus people, so he took a train and followed them. But Jimmy felt as much afraid as ever; he made sure that if Coote caught him he would be locked up in prison.
