I would not for the whole world have given my baby one half-drop too much. "It soon slept a calm, placid sleep, and I noticed that the little face grew paler. 'Your baby is dying, said a woman, who was traveling in the third-class carriage with me. 'It is dying, I am sure. I laughed and cried; it was so utterly impossible, I thought; it was well and smiling only one hour ago.
Mae had already entrusted her money to Lisetta's keeping some one hundred and fifty dollars, which she had gotten the day before from Albert to buy clothes with and with her money she had also resigned all care. She did not know therefore, until the train started, that their seats were in a third-class carriage.
There were a number of passengers on board, country-people, such as travel by third-class on the railway; for, I suppose, nobody but ourselves ever dreamt of voyaging, by the steamer for the sake of what he might happen upon in the way of river-scenery.
'It shows how little one can trust the mere outside shell of human beings, he said to Edie, self-reproachfully, as they sat together in their hare third-class carriage an hour later.
I even took the precaution to travel in a third-class car. Well, good-night. I am going to the inn." Raoul went off after these words, apparently unconscious of having aroused suspicion in the breast of his accomplice. During his adventurous life, Clameran had transacted "business" with too many scamps not to know the precise amount of confidence to place in a man like Raoul.
Looking down astern from the boat-deck or from B deck to the steerage quarters, I often noticed how the third-class passengers were enjoying every minute of the time: a most uproarious skipping game of the mixed-double type was the great favourite, while "in and out and roundabout" went a Scotchman with his bagpipes playing something that Gilbert says "faintly resembled an air."
From there we went by rail to Esperanza, from which uninteresting town we took a street-car line, forty-two miles long, to Tehuacan. This saved us time, distance, and money, and gave us a brand-new experience. There were three coaches on our train, first-, second-, and third-class. When buying tickets we struck acquaintance with a Syrian peddler.
Her sister stepped down from her third-class carriage as a queen from her throne, beckoned to Rye's one porter, and without a word pointed back into the compartment, from which he removed a handbag; whereat she graciously gave him twopence and proceeded to greet Joanna.
"And what does this fellow do aboard the ship?" "He's a third-class machinist, sir," the engineer replied. "But if ye'll excuse a word from me, sir, I think he's a first-class crook." "Yes, and I believe he's worse than that," the captain added; and then, in a voice which seemed to shake the vessel: "Stand up!" There was a strained silence for a moment. Then
I had not much money, something like twenty rubles; and in company with the crowd, I entered the Lyapinsky lodging-house. This house is huge. It consists of four sections. In the upper stories are the men's quarters; in the lower, the women's. I first entered the women's place; a vast room all occupied with bunks, resembling the third-class bunks on the railway.
