Of course, this rehearsal's off. About this evening oh, well, a lot may happen before then. But go at once I believe you can get expresses from here to North-borough pretty often." "I'll go with you if I may," said Copplestone suddenly. "I might be of use. There's that cab still at the door, you know shall we run up to the station?" "Good!" assented Stafford.

"But if I can get one or two things now I don't mean the materials why, I can get a start to-night after the rehearsal's over." "I don't like it," he said glumly.
