She had to support him in a last access of despair on their way to the Albany depot the morning they started to New York; but when the final details had been dealt with, the tickets bought, the trunks checked, and the handbags hung up in their car, and the future had massed itself again at a safe distance and was seven hours and two hundred miles away, his spirits began to rise and hers to sink.
Again I yielded, for I was coming to have more and more faith in the old Kennedy I had seen made over into a first-class detective, and together we started for the Greenes', Craig carrying something in one of those long black handbags which physicians use. Fletcher met us on the driveway.

Sunshine all the time! Everybody scurried off the platform. A venerable porter, after looking in dubious fashion at my two handbags, declared he would return in a few moments to transport them to the hotel, and therewith vanished round the corner. The train moved on. Lamps were extinguished. Time passed.
Then the friendship stated to exist between him and Bedr el Gemaly must have come readymade from heaven, or its opposite. I guessed the nature of the "decent old chap's" illness. But I should have been glad to know whether it had been produced by design or accident. When I went back to the ladies, Bedr went with me, at my firm suggestion, and gave them their handbags to use as footstools.
"I'm sure two boys would start right out and find their way to Grace's." "Would you dare?" cried Bess. "Why not? Come on! We don't want to spend all our money in taxi fares. Let's go over there and ask that car man who seems to be bossing the conductors and motormen." The girls, with their handbags, started across the great square before the station.
Each knew who the other was in a moment, and clasped hands in greeting, as well as they could with the one, and the other receiving bird-cages, handbags, umbrellas, and rugs from Agatha, whom, however, Lance relieved of them with a courteous, "Miss Prescott! You have come in for the arrival of my Australian sister! What luggage have you?"
Tell it not in Gath," cried Jennie sepulchrally. "I have lost flesh positively." "Yes," agreed Helen, quite dramatically. "She barked her knuckle. Every little bit counts with Heavy, you know." Ruth welcomed the plump girl quite as warmly as she did her own particular chum. Immediately the military automobile rolled away. The visitors both carried handbags.
Poitiers was hot, Angouleme an oven, and Merriman was not sorry when at a quarter to five they came in sight of the Garonne at the outskirts of Bordeaux and a few moments later pulled up in the Bastide Station. Hilliard was waiting at the platform barrier. "Hallo, old man," he cried. "Jolly to see you. Give me one of your handbags. I've got a taxi outside."
A locomotive figuring as an idealist! Where would one's fancy lead one to next? Ah the sea! heaving busily, and flashing under the morning radiance. Would they have a good crossing? The wind was fresh. How dreamy and bright and windy the country looked, and how salt was the sea-breeze! Very soon they would arrive at Folkestone. Rugs and umbrellas and handbags must be collected.
