"What train shall I be able to take to Greentown," he managed to call after the conductor. "Don't know, sonny! Ask the ticket agent in the Lowell deepot; he's an old hand and he'll know!" Gilbert's pride was terribly wounded, but his spirits rose a little later when he found that he would only have to wait twenty minutes in the Lowell station before a slow train for Greentown would pick him up, and that he should still reach his destination before bedtime, and need never disclose his stupidity. WHAT TRAIN SHALL I BE ABLE TO TAKE TO GREENTOWN HE MANAGED TO CALL AFTER THE CONDUCTOR DON'T KNOW SONNY ASK THE CHICKET AGENT IN THE LOWELL DEPOT HE'S AN OLD HAND AND HE'LL GO GILBERT'S PRIDE WAS TERRIBLY WOUNDED BUT HIS SPIRITS ROSE A LITTLE LATER WHEN HE FOUND OUT HE WOULD ONLY HAVE TO WAIT TWENTY MINUTES IN THE LOWELL STATION BEFORE A SLOW TRAIN FOR GREENTOWN WOULD PICK HIM UP AND THAT HE WOULD STILL REACH HIS DESTINATION BEFORE BEDTIME AND NEED NEVER DISCLOSE HIS STUPIDITY
dertone, "What kind of passengers are we carrying this afternoon?" "The usual kind, I guess!--You're on the wrong train, sonny!" Gilbert almost leaped into the air, and committed himself by making a motion to reach down his valise. "I, on the wrong train?" he asked haughtily. "That _can't_ be so; the ticket agent told me the 3.05 was the only fast train to Greentown!" "Mebbe he thought you said Greenville; this train goes to Greenville, if that'll do you! Folks ain't used to the new station yet, and the ticket agents are all bran' new too,--guess you got hold of a tenderfoot!" "But Greenville will _not_ 'do' for me," exclaimed Gilbert. "I want to go to _Greentown_." "Well, get off at Lowell, the first stop,--you'll know when you come to it because this gentleman that wanted to go to Lawrence will get off there, and this young lady that was intendin' to go to North Conway. There'll be four of you; jest a nice party." Gilbert choked with wrath as he saw the mirth of the other passengers.
