Incredulous looks greeted me, and then Mr Kitchener said quietly: "Oh yes, you saw something at four A.M. I am not at all surprised to hear that." "Not at four A.M.," I answered, "but at two-fifteen A.M. I made a special note of the time. I was asleep again long before four A.M., and never slept better in my life."
"Lois, dear, don't," she pleaded, kneeling beside the bed, "don't cry any more, sit up and listen to me. Everything's all right." Lois dabbed at her eyes. "We've had a class meeting, the box is ready, the slips are fixed and the notice is up. We're supposed to have had a meeting, that is, I put a sign up that there'd be one at two-fifteen, only " Polly hesitated. "I put it up at three o'clock.
He went to the telephone and presently reported: "There's a train at two-forty. Can you make it by then?" She looked at the clock on the mantel. "We'll make it," she said. He was getting into his coat. "I'll go on to the club, get my things together, and come back for you at two-fifteen, then." He rushed away, both of them almost forgetting to say good-by, and she went into her bedroom to pack.
In vain do you point to the inconvenience of guests, the injustice thus of leaving you in the lurch; in vain do you threaten detention of wages due unless he gives you what your servant experience has taught you is a customary "week's warning." He repeats his remark: and goes. At two-fifteen another bland and smiling heathen appears at your door. He may or may not tell you that Ah Sing sent him.
"Perhaps I shall give you back that word before we are through, Mr. Darrah," he snapped. Then to the eddying mob-wave: "Tools up, boys. We camp here for breakfast. Branagan, send the Two-fifteen down for the cook's outfit." The Rajah dropped his cigar butt in the snow and trod upon it. "Possibly you will faveh us with your company to breakfast in the Rosemary, Misteh Winton you and Misteh Adams.
A man called Charteris insisted on getting them up always getting up theatricals. Rot, I call it; but you can't stop him. Do you do anything in that line?" "Put me down for what you like, from Emperor of Morocco to Confused Noise Without. I was on the stage once. I'm particularly good at shifting scenery." "Good for you. Well, so long. Two-fifteen from Paddington, remember. I'll meet you there.
"We will take the night train for the Continent," he said. "But your work, Frank?" He laughed. "Oh, blow work!" he cried hilariously. "I cannot think of work to-day." At two-fifteen he was waiting in the vestry for the girl's arrival, chatting with his friend the rector.
There was hearty shaking of hands, and Arthur Wardlaw was the happiest man in London for a little while. "Got the telegram at Elmtrees, this morning, and came up by the first express," said Wardlaw senior. The telegram was from Sir Edward Rolleston. "Reached Liverpool last night; will be at Euston, two-fifteen." "Not a word from her!"
Now supposin' you was in for a hoss race, which I hope ain't no offense, seein' it ain't likely but suppose, and to take first money you had to perdoose a two-fifteen gait.
Looking at my watch, I saw it was just two-twenty-five A.M., so I settled in my own mind that I must have seen the figure at two-fifteen A.M., or possibly at two-ten A.M., for I think the experience lasted nearly five minutes altogether.
