I could not speak, but we shook hands cordially; and I hurried off to get my ticket. "You can only book to Tarborough!" he called after me, "where we change, and catch the London express." The station-master gave me my ticket, and then approached Charles, and touched his cap. "Might any of you gentlemen be going to London, sir?" he inquired. "All three of us." "I don't think you will get on, sir.

Ah, there she is, at last!" as the train came in sight; and he went through the ceremony of ringing the bell, although we were the only travellers on the platform. It was only an hour's run to Tarborough, where we were to join the main line. "What are we to do now?" said Charles, as the chimneys of Tarborough hove in sight, and the train slackened.
