He was not, though the guard was just about to give the signal for departure, and the boat-train bore him from the station, full of that glad consciousness of a great achievement, to carry the news instantly to her feet. On the little station in Brittany Denton was waiting for him. And when Alymer saw him the light faded out of his eyes, and the smile from his lips.
The special boat-train which they were to take left directly from the steamer's dock and was an express direct to Paris without stop, landing them there in less than four hours. The Farrington party had a whole compartment in this train, and as a compartment only holds six people, they comfortably filled it, using the extra seat for hand luggage and so forth.
Pancras, Flamby by the smoky portal of London Bridge; and, on the following morning, Yvonne Mario stood upon a platform at Victoria awaiting the arrival of the Folkestone boat-train. She attracted considerable attention and excited adverse criticism amongst the other ladies present not only because of her personal charm but by reason of her dress.
They had come through from Rangoon without a hitch, and had run into Charing Cross by the boat-train the day before. As they walked along the crowded streets, Mr. Haydon smiled, and said quietly to his son, "You've seen a thing or two, Jack, since last you paid a visit to Lane & Baumann."

Sam's supervision at Sanstead Station had made it impossible for me to send a telegram. I had had to trust to chance.
"Take a straight tip from me. Keep off the drink!" It was in the afternoon of this same day a day so momentous in the lives of more than one of London's millions that two travelers might have been seen to descend from a first-class compartment of the Dover boat-train at Charing Cross.
Whatever doubts there might be in his mind on other points, on that one he had none whatever. "Have you ever been in prison?" Not yet. And then a very difficult one. "Are you a lunatic?" Jimmy hesitated. The ink dried on his pen. He was wondering. In the dim cavern of Paddington Station the boat-train snorted impatiently, varying the process with an occasional sharp shriek.
Making mental note of the fact that the boat-train for Flushing and London was scheduled to leave Antwerp daily at 8:21 p. m., Kirkwood rustled the leaves to find out whether or not other tours had been planned, found evidences of none, and carefully restored the guide to the locker, lest inadvertently the captain should pick it up and see what Kirkwood had seen. An hour later he went on deck.
