"Well, it's all right," he said at last, "we have telegraphed for a special train to take on the passengers who wish to proceed, and you can go back, if you choose, in the up train, which is about due.

Lavington's the fourth station this way on the up-line from Chetwood. Cyril's stopping at Tilgate town, you know I heard from him on Saturday and the bit he's now working at's in Chetwood Forest.
