Several others from neighboring villages, so I heard, had already succeeded in obtaining a sheet, and had driven off hastily with their trophies. My proceeding was very simple. It consisted of crossing the rails to the up-train platform, to stand in line with the other women already assembled, there to wait like birds on a fence until a train coming from Paris passed by.
Edgar had found but little difficulty in getting out from the house. He had timed himself so as to arrive at the station just before the train left for Gloucester, and taking his ticket, had slipped into an empty carriage. At Gloucester there was half an hour to wait before the up-train came in. This time he got into a carriage with several other people.
Whilst the machine was still giving off its multitudinous series of raps, Edward heard a powerful rush under the shed outside, followed by a long sonorous creak. It was a train of some sort, stealing softly into the station, and it was an up-train. There was the ring of a bell. It was certainly a passenger train. Yet the booking-office window was closed.
"We shall have you down again soon, Mr John," said the groom, who seemed to understand that Mr Eames was to be made quite at home at the manor. He went fast to sleep in the carriage, and did not awake till the train was stopped at the Barchester Junction. "Waiting for the up-train from Barchester, sir," said the guard. "They're always late."
There you needn't drive so fast; the up-train don't go by till the half-hour, and every minute is precious, at least to me. We are kept sadly apart, Kate. If you can bear it, I can't. I should like to be near you always always to watch over you and worship you. Confound that pony! he's off again."
She'd been struck by the express and you would hardly have known her dead, of course. I think she stayed all night in the Armstrong house, and the agent said she was crossing the track to take the up-train to town when the express struck her." "Another circle!" I exclaimed. "Then we are just where we started." "Not so bad as that, Miss Innes," Riggs said eagerly.
This rather tickled the Master, who up till then had never considered archangelic possibilities in boxing. "I was certain the boy was all right," he said. There was a rousing cheer from the group on the platform as the up-train moved off, with Dick Vaughan leaning far out from one of its windows. "I'll be home in eighteen months," Dick had said when he bade Betty Murdoch good-by.
"The up-train to London?" "No: the down-train at one-fifty " "God Almighty help us! The train Mr. Vanstone traveled by to Grailsea?" "The same. I was sent here by the up-train; the line was just cleared in time for it. They wouldn't write they said I must see 'Miss Garth, and tell her. There are seven passengers badly hurt; and two "
He caught the up-train, he arrived safe and sound in town, but what he did there must be told in another chapter. Weary with many thoughts, the vicar came to the door of the bank.
That afternoon we concocted a letter to him, and I watched Jeanie's eyes with a towel in my hand while she wrote it, so that no tears should fall on it, and that night she travelled twenty miles down the Great Western line to post it, returning by the next up-train.
