She who always led or prompted when they conversed, had now in her generosity abandoned the lead and herself to him, and she deserved his utmost honouring. But where was she? He looked at his watch, looked at the clock. They said the same: ten minutes to the moment of the train's departure.
At two o'clock, as they reached Vic-de-Bigorre, low moans were heard; the bad state of the line, with the unbearable spreading tendency of the train's motion, was sorely shaking the patients. It was only at Tarbes, at half-past two, that silence was at length broken, and that morning prayers were said, though black night still reigned around them.
I'm going to Bombay to act censor. I can't wait they want me there." The instant the train's motion altogether ceased the heat shut in on them as if the lid of Tophet had been slammed. The prickly beat burst out all over Hyde's skin and King's too. "Almighty God!" gasped Hyde, beginning to fan himself. There was plenty of excuse for relaxing hold still further, and King made full use of it.
Then the train came out on wide plains, full of the glaucous shimmer of young oats and the golden-green of fresh-sprinkled wheat fields, where the mist on the horizon was purplish. The train's shadow, blue, sped along beside them over the grass and fences. "How beautiful it is to go out of the city this way in the early morning!... Has your aunt a piano?" "Yes, a very old and tinkly one."
But that phase of trouble was averted, for, as it happened, he remained in the car ahead until, at dusk, the train rolled into Albuquerque. Here the proprietor of the Armijo House was at the station with his hackman awaiting the train's arrival.
On a bare spot of the prairie he discerned the print of a hoof. It was not that of one of the train's animals. Alfred knew this, because just to one side of it, caught under a grass-blade so cunningly that only the little scout's eyes could have discerned it at all, was a single blue bead. Alfred rode out on the prairie to right and left, and found the hoof-prints of about thirty ponies.
Captain Zelotes also rose. "Don't hurry, don't hurry," he begged. "Sorry, but I must. I want to be back in New York tomorrow morning." "But you can't, can you? To do that you'll have to get up to Boston or Fall River, and the afternoon train's gone. You'd better stay and have supper along with my wife and me, stay at our house over night, and take the early train after breakfast to-morrow."
I've got to go. How much is a ticket?" "Eighty-five cents. The train's due now. There she comes," he added, as a distant whistle sounded. Freda had barely time to get her ticket and hurry aboard. "Don't worry," the agent called out to her. "There hasn't been any accident, or I'd have heard of it." But Freda did worry.
It was now five minutes past five o'clock ten minutes before the train's scheduled time of departure; which, allowing two minutes for reaching the station, would mean eight minutes to spend on the platform, even if the train were up to time. Eight minutes for the men with the side-car to reach the station and And what?
"Let's pretend he's a cuckoo and push him out," suggested Tom. "Tommy!" said his mother. "Oh, I didn't mean him to fall far," said Tommy "just a kind of roll."
