"It's as nice a little town of its size as you'd find anywhere." The other shrugged his shoulders. A man a few yards off in the crowd happened at that moment to be looking in the direction of the two speakers. It was the ticket-collector at the station, enjoying an afternoon off. He recognized the taller of the two men as the "dook" he had seen at Millsborough station about a week ago.
Laddies, was't at the Black Bull they're expectin' me?" "The very place, Bailie; but ye maun say juist a word at the Seminary in passin'," and Speug signalled to a ticket-collector who had just come upon the scene. "Would ye mind helpin' Bailie MacConachie oot o' the carriage, for he's forgotten an engagement at the Seminary, and he's juist a wee thingie faint with the heat?"
"I've sprained my ankle," said Frank. "It's my belief," said the guard, "that the young gentleman's leg is broke on him. That's what the ticket-collector was after telling me at the junction any way." "Would you like me to cut off your sock?" said Priscilla. "The station-master's wife would lend me a pair of scissors. She's sure to have a pair. Almost everybody has." "No, I wouldn't," said Frank.
Placid turned a mild, inquiring head to discover the reason for this new delay. When Jan, after paying Tony's fare back from the junction, had driven away, the old porter, the ticket-collector, and the station-master sat in conclave on the situation.
Garvin into the first-class compartment, and it soon appeared that Messrs Garvin & Quorrall did, in fact, own the train, and that the London and North Western Railway was no more than their washpot. "Bring us a cushion from somewhere, will ye?" said Mr. Quorrall, casually, to a ticket-collector who entered. And the resplendent official obeyed.
We saw Stoner now and then, you understand right away to Chat Bank." "You didn't notice any suspicious characters come to your station that afternoon or evening?" asked the superintendent. The ticket-collector replied that nothing of that sort had been seen, and he presently went away.
"It's my opinion," said the ticket-collector, "that you'd get damages out of the steamboat company if you was to process them." Mannix did not want to attack the steamboat company. He felt vindictive, but his anger was all di-rected against the man who had injured him.
She had passed Miles blindly, and her face caused that young man to whistle softly, just once. Then he dashed after her. "Your haunt bin askin' for you," the old porter said to Tony. "'Peared to me she was a bit worried-like." Tony moved stiffly down the little station, the old porter following with Miles' luggage on a truck. The ticket-collector stood in the doorway. Tony, of course, had none.
Every house and lodging in Millsborough was full, prices had gone up badly, and life in Millsborough was becoming extremely uncomfortable for its normal inhabitants "all along o' these panicky aliens!" thought the ticket-collector, resentfully, as he looked at the tall man.
The flood of passengers separates on either side of the ticket-collector; and I keep close to him, standing desperately on tip-toe.... The crowd has passed and I have not caught sight of her.
