But the little elderly gentleman scarcely heard this remonstrance; his head was out of the window, and he was looking eagerly Rugby wards along the line. BUT THE LITTLE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN SCARCELY HEARD THIS REMONSTRANCE HIS HEAD WAS OUT OF THE WINDOW AND HE WAS LOOKING EAGERLY RUGGEDYWARDS ALONG THE LINE
e at which the train was due at Rugby, when the carriage, which had rocked a good deal from the first, began to oscillate very violently. One meagre little elderly traveller turned rather pale, and looked nervously at his fellow-passengers; but the young man who had spoken to Henry Dunbar, and a bald-headed commercial-looking gentleman opposite to him, went on reading their newspapers as coolly as if the rocking of the carriage had been no more perilous than the lullaby motion of an infant's cradle, guided by a mother's gentle foot. Mr. Dunbar never took his eyes from the dial of his watch. So the nervous traveller found no response to his look of terror. He sat quietly for a minute or so, and then lowered the window near him, and let in a rush of icy wind, whereat the bald-headed commercial gentleman turned upon him rather fiercely, and asked him what he was about, and if he wanted to give them all inflammation of the lungs, by letting in an atmosphere that was two degrees below zero.
