e most unfortunate man at a time-table that ever was born. I do not think it can be stupidity; for if it were mere stupidity, I should occasionally, now and then when I was feeling well, not make a mistake. It must be fate. If there is one train out of forty that goes on "Saturdays only" to some place I want to get to, that is the train I select to travel by on a Friday. On Saturday morning I get up at six, swallow a hasty breakfast, and rush off to catch a return train that goes on every day in the week "except Saturdays." I go to London, Brighton and South Coast Railway-stations and clamour for South-Eastern trains. On Bank Holidays I forget it is Bank Holiday, and go and sit on draughty platforms for hours, waiting for trains that do not run on Bank Holidays. To add to my misfortunes, I am the miserable possessor of a demon time-table that I cannot get rid of, a Bradshaw for August, 1887. Regularly, on the first of each month, I buy and bring home with me a new Bradshaw and a new A. I AM THE MOST UNFORTUNATE MAN AT THE TIME TABLE THAT EVER WAS BORN I DO NOT THINK IT CAN BE STUPIDITY FOR IF IT WERE MERE STUPIDITY I SHOULD OCCASIONALLY NOW AND THEN WHEN I WAS FEELING WELL NOT MAKE A MISTAKE IT MUST BE FATE IF THERE IS ONE TRAIN OUT OF FORTY THAT GOES ON SATURDAYS ONLY TO SOME PLACE I WANT TO GET TO THAT IS THE TRAIN I SELECT TO TRAVEL BY ON A FRIDAY ON SATURDAY MORNING I GET UP AT SIX SWALLOW A HASTY BREAKFAST AND RUSH OFF TO CATCH A RETURN TRAIN THAT GOES ON EVERY DAY IN THE WEEK EXCEPT SATURDAYS I GO TO LONDON BRIGHTON AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY STATIONS AND CLAMOUR FOR SOUTH EASTERN TRAINS ON BANK HOLIDAYS I FORGET IT IS BANK HOLIDAY AND GO AND SIT ON DRAUGHTY PLATFORMS FOR HOURS WAITING FOR TRAINS THAT DO NOT RUN ON BANK HOLIDAYS TO ADD TO MY MISFORTUNES I AM THE MISERABLE POSSESSOR OF A DEMON TIME TABLE THAT I CANNOT GET RID OF A BRADSHORE FOR AUGUST EIGHTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN REGULARLY ON THE FIRST OF EACH MONTH I BUY AND BRING HOME WITH ME A NEW BRADSHORE AND A NEW A
