In two more hours I shall be frozen. Rheumatic fever, I suppose, or galloping decline. It will settle Aunt Maria, that's one good thing! but it's hard all the same, in the flower of my youth! To think of all that a human creature can suffer for the sake of a miserable eightpence!" She got up stiffly and pressed her face against the pane. People were beginning to assemble for the nine-ten.
"The fellow Purt quarreled with for taking the car." "Give it up," said Chet, shaking his head. "And what became of the other man?" Laura queried. "There were two in the car when it hit the man from Alaska," Jess declared. "Gee!" ejaculated Bobby. "There's the nine-ten express west" "Who What do you mean, young one?" demanded Chet.
Presently she went on with her packing, and finished it by a little after four-thirty. The suitcase had to be filled. When it was done she took a bath and dressed, and lay down on the bed as she was. There was a train at nine-ten, that got her back home late in the afternoon, and she was taking no chances.
"'Young one' yourself!" snapped Clara Hargrew, immediately on her dignity. "There are no medals on you for age, Chet Belding." "Or whiskers, either," laughed Laura, slyly eyeing her brother, for she was aware that he had a safety razor hidden away in his bureau drawer. "Come, come!" said Jess, "What about this nine-ten express Bobby spoke of?" "Why," said the younger girl, "I noticed Mr.
I wanted only this chance to see you before I left. You'll dine with me, won't you?" "If you would stay in London, Philip, we would dine together not once but many times; as it is, I myself am booked for Munich, to be gone a week, on business. I have many affairs needing attention between now and the nine-ten train from Victoria. If you will be my guest at Aspen Villas "
He nodded reassuringly to the inspector and placed his kit-bag on the floor. "It's all right, I'm Foyle right enough. I'm thinking of a change of air for a day or two," was all the explanation he vouchsafed. "I want to just run through my letters and catch the nine-ten train from Waterloo. I'll leave a note over for Mr. Mainland, who'll take charge while I'm away."
What Chet had found out from Dan Smith, Hester Grimes' neighbor, interested the quick mind of Billy Long immensely. "Gee! I knew it must be something like that. Sure! Purt is shielding somebody for Hester. That's it!" "Have you no idea who it can be? The man who drove the car, I mean, or the one who possibly took the nine-ten express out of town that night? Hester has no brothers "
"I have to go away on the nine-ten," she said.... "No, please, Phyllis, wait till I tell you, and you'll see I do. You would, too." Phyllis always took the least nerve-wearing way you could count on her for that. She listened encouragingly. "Gail said last night she she knew my dark secret." Joy began nervously in the middle.
She slept a little, always with the nine-ten train on her mind, and finally rose and locked her trunk at half-past seven. She put the key and her ticket and what money she had in her hand-bag, fastened on her cap, took her suitcase, and stole downstairs.
Half-past ten before any one could come to the rescue; three long hours of chill and darkness, with no one to speak to, and nowhere to go! Darsie threw the thought aside with the impetuous incredulity of youth. "When's the next train to town?" "Nine-ten." That was better! Nine-ten.
