"I'll go to a shop," he thought, "and change this sovereign, and ask to look at a timetable then, if I find I can catch a train at once, I'll run for it; if one is not due for some time, I can hang about near the station till it comes in."
He will keep on running for the 5:42 train, even though the timetable was changed the day before yesterday. He goes through the revolving doors the wrong way. He forgets that the banks close at noon on Saturdays. He asks for oysters on the first of June. He will wait for hours at the Chestnut Street door, even though his wife told him to meet her at the ribbon counter. Yes, he has a wife.
"You don't mean to say she went all alone?" asked Phil in dismay. "That's just it. She wouldn't have it any other way." They gazed at each other with sober faces. Thirty-six hours later Kendrick, aboard the Winnipeg Express, was rushing westward through the night. His watch told him that the hour was near midnight and in the open timetable beside him he was tracing the train's progress.
No man knows offhand the trains that leave London in the small hours, but Val hunted up a timetable its date of eighteen mouths ago a pregnant commentary on life at Wanhope and came back with the information that if they left at seven-fifteen they could be at Countisford by ten. "Too late to keep it quiet," he owned. "The servants are a nuisance. But thank heaven Isabel's with them."
I will send the Congress broad recommendations on the budget, but first I'd like to see yours. Let's go to work and get this done together. But now let's talk about this year's budget.

Clad in a yellow mackintosh she stood in the middle of the room questioning the manager. And every guest the pension contained was grouped about her, even the Frau Doktor, presumably examining a timetable, as near to the august skirts as possible. "But where is my maid?" asked the Baroness. "There was no maid," replied the manager, "save for your gracious sister and daughter."
At the present moment you thrill with the glamour of the situation and the anticipation of the hunt. Where would be that thrill if I had been as definite as a timetable? I only ask a little patience, Mr. Mac, and all will be clear to you." "Well, I hope the pride and justification and the rest of it will come before we all get our death of cold," said the London detective with comic resignation.
But here was Felix intent on the timetable and sweeping seventy-two francs twenty-five centimes of change into his pocket without troubling to count a coin. "You have found a mad Englishman, I suppose?" tittered madame. "Better, far better, ma chérie; I have met a man who would be a King!" He hurried out, climbed into a passing omnibus, and descended at the Gare de Lyon.
I was scared he was goin' to have the jimmies. But I took the needle it had black thread in it and stuck it through the timetable. He opened the page and laughed awful loud and queer. Albuquerque was where the needle went in. He couldn't say the name right, but he kept lookin' at it. "Then he went out and was gone all day and all night.
