At each station, when the train came to a stand-still, some passenger, hanging head and elbows out of his window, like a quilt draped over a chair, would address a citizen on the platform: "Hey, Sam, how's Miz Bushkirk?" "She's wal." "Where's Milt, this afternoon?" "Warshing the buggy." Then at the cry, "All 'board" "See you Sunday over at Amo." "You make Milt come. I'll be there, shore. So long."
