The anchor is up; it is too late to change. Only beware! You shall know curious things and alone!" Henriot stirred uneasily in his chair. He turned with sudden energy to the shelf of guide-books, maps and time-tables possessions he most valued in the whole room. He was a happy-go-lucky, adventure-loving soul, careless of common standards, athirst ever for the new and strange.
We repaired to the agent. The kindness of this person dwells in our memory. He entered at once into our longings and perplexities. He produced his maps and time-tables, and showed us clearly what we already knew.
"At the commencement of the mobilization the railway time-tables in force were cancelled; railway traffic ceased, and only slow local-trains ran, stopping at every station to pick up the men. During the nights a gigantic transport of troops went on to the frontiers. From that moment the sale of alcohol on the stations was prohibited.
His family traced him to a hotel in Pittsburg, and then lost all clue, except that just before leaving the hotel he had asked the clerk for the time-tables of an Eastern railroad. There was a terrible wreck on that road that same night. The entire train went through a bridge into the river, and they thought he must have been swept away with the unidentified dead.
She shook her head, her face still buried in the violets. "What's worrying you about it?" he asked. "You, Monte," she answered. "I? Well, that isn't much. I looked up the time-tables, and we could take the six-ten to-night if you were ready." "I could n't possibly be ready," she replied decidedly. "To-morrow, then?"
Then we look up in the travel books all 'bout the place and we have the grandest time most as good as though we really went. Last winter we traveled through Scotland. It made the long evenings when we were shut in at Sunnyside pass like magic. Little-Dad has a perfect passion for time-tables and he never really goes anywhere in his life except in the game."
The ordinary Indian to whom time is of little value cares nothing for time-tables. He goes to the station when he feels moved to do so, and waits there patiently for the next train that will take him to his destination or bring the friends he wants to meet.
Ethelberta continued her way, and drying her eyes entered the station, where, on searching the time-tables, she found there would be no train for Anglebury for the next two hours. Then more slowly she turned towards the town again, meeting Picotee and keeping in her company. Lord Mountclere gave up the chase, but as he wished to get into the town again, he followed in the same direction.
The head-waiter looked a little askance at the red-headed office boy; but Nancy, in her neat outfit, reassured him, and he led them to a table and drew out the chair for the girl. "Bring us a couple of time-tables so we can pick our eats," ordered Scorch. "Hush!" commanded Nancy, blushing a little. "Other people will hear you." "That's what I talk for," declared the unabashed boy.
It's a sorrowful thing I'm lame an' can na' gang wi' ye. What are ye doin', Hester?" "I'm hunting for the newspaper. Don't they put the railroad time-tables in the paper over here, or must I go to the station to inquire about trains?" "Ye'd better ask at the station. I'll go wi' ye. Ye might boggle it by yersel'. Ring for Tillie, Jean.
