So we agreed to start on the Friday, and I am to meet him at Victoria Station at a quarter to eight in the evening. SO WE AGREED TO START ON THE FRIDAY AND I AM TO MEET HIM AT VICTORIA STATION AT A QUARTER TO EIGHT IN THE EVENING
n who could be so sensible, occasionally, as myself, could have patience to even think of such old-womanish nonsense. He said that years ago, when he was a silly boy, he used to pay attention to this foolish superstition himself, and would never upon any consideration start for a trip upon a Friday. But, one year, he was compelled to do so. It was a case of either starting on a Friday or not going at all, and he determined to chance it. He went, prepared for and expecting a series of accidents and misfortunes. To return home alive was the only bit of pleasure he hoped for from that trip. As it turned out, however, he had never had a more enjoyable holiday in his life before. The whole event was a tremendous success. And after that, he had made up his mind to _always_ start on a Friday; and he always did, and always had a good time. He said that he would never, upon any consideration, start for a trip upon any other day but a Friday now. It was so absurd, this superstition about Friday.  HE SAID HE WAS SURPRISED THAT A MAN WHO COULD BE SO SENSIBLE OCCASIONALLY AS MYSELF COULD HAVE PATI TO EVEN THINK OF SUCH OLD WOMANISH NONSENSE HE SAID THAT YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS A SILLY BOY HE USED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS FOOLISH SUPERSTITION HIMSELF AND WOULD NEVER UPON ANY CONSIDERATION START FOR A TRIP UPON A FRIDAY BUT ONE YEAR HE WAS COMPELLED TO DO SO IT WAS A CASE OF EITHER STARTING ON A FRIDAY OR NOT GOING AT ALL AND HE DETERMINED TO CHANCE IT HE WENT PREPARED FOR AND EXPECTING A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS AND MISFORTUNES THE RETURN HOME ALIVE WAS THE ONLY BIT OF PLEASURE HE HOPED FOR FROM THAT TRIP AS IT TURNED OUT HOWEVER HE HAD NEVER HAD A MORE ENJOYABLE HOLIDAY IN HIS LIFE BEFORE THE WHOLE EVENT WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS AND AFTER THAT HE HAD MADE UP HIS MIND TO ALWAYS START ON A FRIDAY AND HE ALWAYS DID AND ALWAYS HAD A GOOD TIME HE SAID THAT HE WOULD NEVER UPON ANY CONSIDERATION START FOR A TRIP UPON ANY OTHER DAY BUT A FRIDAY NOW IT WAS SO ABSURD THIS SUPPOSITION ABOUT FRIDAY
