"There isn't any. She goes through at four-seven. You'll have to compose yourself to wait till eight-ten, unless you want to walk." Varney halted at the head of the companionway, surprisingly disappointed. From the moment when the Cypriani had put about, he had been insistently conscious that his first duty now was to see Mr.
"Excuse my interruption," said Varney. "Is Mr. Higginson in?" The clerk's glance lowered tiredly. "Naw. Left town on the four-seven." "I don't believe it," said Peter instantly. There followed a silence. So stern were the gazes fastened upon the clerk that, looking hastily up at Peter's word, he promptly lost something of his lordly demeanor and became for the moment almost human.
Was Rickie mad? A minute ago and they were boring each other over dogs. What had happened? "Now, now! Quarrelling already?" asked Mrs. Failing. The footman, bringing a lamp, lit up two angry faces. "He says " "He says " "He says we ran over a child." "So you did. You ran over a child in the village at four-seven by my watch. Your train was late. You couldn't have got to the station till four-ten."
"Well, sir, he's left us. Said he was takin' the four-seven." "Where did he go?" demanded Varney. "Don't know, sir, but I think to New York." "You must know where he checked his baggage to." "Didn't have any baggage, sir," protested the clerk. "Only his suit-case." "Did he leave no address for the forwarding of his mail?" "Naw, sir. He did not." "Of course not. Why on earth should he?" said Peter.
"I don't believe it. We had passed the village by four-seven. Agnes, hadn't we passed the village? It must have been an express that ran over the child." "Now is it likely" he appealed to the practical world "is it likely that the company would run a stopping train and then an express three minutes after it?" "A child " said Rickie. "I can't believe that the train killed a child."
