When everybody appears to be sufficiently rested, a move onward is suggested by the engine driver or the guard, and if all are agreeable to the proposal the train starts. WHEN EVERYBODY APPEARS TO BE SUFFICIENTLY RESTED A MOVE ONWARD IS SUGGESTED BY THE ENGINE DRIVER OR THE GUARD AND IF ALL ARE AGREEABLE TO THE PROPOSAL THE TRAIN STARTS
gine-driver, during a pause in the conversation, looks at his watch, and says he is afraid he must be going, but the station-master's wife won't hear of it. "Oh, you must stop and see the children," she says. "They will be home from school soon, and they'll be so disappointed if they hear you have been here and gone away again. Lizzie will never forgive you." The engine-driver and the stoker laugh, and say that under those circumstances they suppose they must stop; and they do so. Meanwhile the booking-clerk has introduced the guard to his sister, and such a very promising flirtation has been taking place behind the ticket-office door that it would not be surprising if wedding-bells were heard in the neighbourhood before long. The second guard has gone down into the town to try and sell a dog, and the passengers stroll about the platform and smoke, or partake of a light meal in the refreshment-room--the poorer classes regaling themselves upon hot sausage, and the more dainty upon soup.
