Now then for the dummy figure. He looked at his watch again before getting into bed. Twelve-fifteen. How long to wait before Cayley came up? He turned out the light, and then, standing by the door in his pyjamas, waited for his eyes to become accustomed to the new darkness.... He could only just make out the bed in the corner of the room.
Run through him like so much water. The chemist who made up that stuff doped you and not the 'orse and done me." "What they done to you?" "Took the cash off me, and give me the boot instead." The tout considered. "He's fit, is he?" "Fit?" snorted the little man. "He's throwin' back-somersaults in his box. That's all." "When do they box him for Liverpool?" "Twelve-fifteen train."
The two witnesses from Lone, McNeil, the saddler, who had seen her lurking under the window of the castle at midnight on the night of the murder; and Ferguson, the railway clerk, who had sold her the ticket for the twelve-fifteen express to London, had been summoned by telegraph on the day before, had come up by the night train, and were now in court ready to identify the prisoner.
Don't give me anything to eat, 'cause I have to look up something in the library before I go home, and I'm late for lunch now." "Just pimento cheese on crackers, and I've got some chocolate marshmallows here somewhere." Amy's voice was muffled under the couch cover. But the clock on the mantel pointed at twelve-fifteen, and Kit knew the Dean's punctilious regard for keeping meal hours.
He wondered why Paredes had grown so quiet. "I mustn't miss that twelve-fifteen," he said, "You know, Carlos, you weren't quite fair to Hartley. He's a splendid fellow. Roomed with me at college, played on same team, and all that. Only wanted me to do the right thing. Must say it was the right thing. I won't miss that twelve-fifteen."
'You'll be a fool if you do, croaked the gloomy Jenkins. 'You're bound to be caught. But the Ayes had it. Babington wrote off that night accepting the invitation. It was with feelings of distinct relief that he heard Mr Seymour express to another master his intention of catching the twelve-fifteen train up to town.
Of this I had an example upon the following morning. The curious aversion which Mrs. Everard King had conceived towards me was so strong, that her manner at breakfast was almost offensive. But her meaning became unmistakable when her husband had quitted the room. "The best train in the day is at twelve-fifteen," said she.
Haney called sharply: "Everything okay?" "Sure!" said Joe. "Everything's fine! What's the matter?" "Mike had a hunch," said the Chief. "And uh I remembered I worked on the job when this dam was built twelve-fifteen years ago." He looked about him. "It looked different then." Then he caught Joe's eye and jerked his head almost imperceptibly to one side. Joe caught the signal.
I have something to say to you." "I shall be charmed. But won't you miss your train?" said Dorian Gray, languidly, as he passed up the steps and opened the door with his latch-key. The lamp-light struggled out through the fog, and Hallward looked at his watch. "I have heaps of time," he answered. "The train doesn't go till twelve-fifteen, and it is only just eleven.
He suffered the agony of a man who realizes that he has wandered unawares in strange places, and retains no recollection of his actions, of his intentions.

He had told himself he must catch the twelve-fifteen train.
