"Tom Marvin. He called this morning to see Nat about something. Nat had sent a telegram home from a place called Halock, stating he had been carried off on a freight train." "Humph! then he went further than we supposed he would," mused Phil. "Where is Halock?" Nobody knew, and they consulted a time-table taken from a rack in the car. "It's a flag-station not far from Buffalo," announced Roger.
I looked at my time-table to find out what the railroad fare would be and I figured it to be thirteen dollars, so asked the Lord to give me thirteen dollars that evening. At the close of the service someone put some money in my pocket and I began to thank the Lord for thirteen dollars. The devil said, "You haven't got thirteen dollars in your pocket," but I said I had.
While he had been cursing his brother, the man lay smitten, perhaps at the door of death. His aunt it was who steadied him and turned to the time-table. Then she went to her store of ready money. In an hour Raymond was on his way. It might be possible for him to catch a midnight train for the North from London and reach York before morning.
And the outcome of all this elaborate training would be that the child would never learn to talk his mother tongue. It is by methods analogous in all respects to this that many of the subjects on the time-table are taught in thousands of our schools. And all the time he will not have given a thought to what is happening to the child's inner life.
Not only that, but some generous person had stuffed it literally full of bank notes, and in a small pocket he also found a first-class ticket from Glotzbourg to the frontier.

"Well, what I'm afraid of is that he will see them again, and that he'll do whatever the people he happens to be with tell him." "I suppose we've got to take that much of a chance, Dolly. We really haven't much choice. My, how this train does go!" "Why are you looking at your map and your time-table so carefully, Bessie?" "I want to be sure to know when we're getting near Canton, Dolly.
I lost thirty-two pounds, I said, 'and I ain't going to be bothered to-night. Well, sir, he kind of shook his head, but he went away, and I got to thinking about it. Long about half-past seven I went down and got a time-table. There was a train to Stillwater at eight-forty-two." "That night?" "Sure.
Spence's days were organized like a railway time-table, and a delay of an hour implied a casualty as far-reaching as the breaking down of an express. Of the cause of the present derangement Hugh Millner was ignorant; and the experience of the last months allowed him to fluctuate between conflicting conjectures. All were based on the indisputable fact that Mr.
"I shall light the oil-stove, wash the crockery, carry the cups of broth and milk to the patients whenever we stop, according to the time-table hanging yonder; and if, all the same, you should require a doctor, you will please come to fetch me." Sister Hyacinthe had also begun to laugh.
Hohenfels interrupted me, complaining that my monologue was uninteresting and diffuse, and was interfering with the railway time-table. But I finished it in the car: "And the railway! What has a person of fixed and independent habits to do with railways but to growl at them?
