Honora, closed in her stateroom, eased herself that night by writing a long, if somewhat undecipherable, letter to Chiltern; and was able, the next day, to read the greater portion of a novel. It was only when she arrived in Chicago, after nightfall, that loneliness again assailed her. She was within nine hours so the timetable said of St. Louis!
He felt, during that moment, like a drum-major who had "muffed" his baton on parade. Then recovering himself, he promptly confirmed the Teal operative's report by telephone, accepted its confirmation as authentic, consulted a timetable, and made a dash for Windsor Station.
A timetable upon the mantelpiece told him that a down-train left the station at 8.35. It was now eight. Better a down-train than an up. The further from London the less chance of this infernal Daily with its Country House Outrage. Examining the time-table he determined upon Temple Colney an hour's run. He had been there once with Bill. But what of this infernal red-headed Pinner boy?
It's quite out of proportion to the comparatively small distance." "Get down to that place?" I repeated blankly. "Get down to what place?" "I have forgotten its name," said Basil vaguely, putting his hands in his pockets as he rose. "Something Common near Purley. Has any one got a timetable?" "You don't seriously mean," cried Rupert, who had been staring in a sort of confusion of emotions.
Looking up the timetable I saw there were still two trains to Meulan, the next at 10.25, which reached Meulan at 11.40. I therefore had time to reach St. Lazare station, and accomplish some telegraphing before the train left. With three of my assistants I got into a cab and drove to the station.

The servants, the walls, the things in that house all aroused repulsion and hatred in her and lay like a weight upon her. "Yes, I must go to the railway station, and if he's not there, then go there and catch him." Anna looked at the railway timetable in the newspapers.
"Then the wire was from her?" "Yes." "Did she say what train she was coming on?" "No." "Well, there are a lot of trains. About what time did you expect her in?" "She didn't say." "Do I know her?" "I think not. I met her while I worked in 'Frisco." "Oh!" He resumed reading his paper, and the next moment Annie re-entered with a timetable. "Thanks," said Laura, taking it.
The men who carried her off may either have come back or gone on with him. If they wanted to go south they would go on; if they did not, he would probably have only hired them to carry her off and hand her over to him when he overtook them. I will look at the timetable and see where that train stops.
Why don't you find out for yourself? Have Annie get the timetable." "I will," she said. Leaving the piano, she went to the door and called: "Annie! Annie!" The negress appeared on the threshold. "Yassum!" "Go ask one of the hall-boys to bring me a New York Central timetable." "Yassum!" The maid crossed the room, and disappeared through another door.
Better go to the hotel for to-night. It's not much of a place, but you will have to learn to put up with that sort of accommodation. Tomorrow we'll try and find you some decent lodgings. The hotel struck even Hyacinth as of inferior quality, though it boasted great things in the timetable advertisements, and called itself 'Imperial' in large gold letters above its door.
