Will you go to the station ?" "Yes," said Agatha.

"I feel he will be there." "Then you'll hold us up; that train is often late," George grumbled.
"Have you got a hint about what Stormont wants ?" Agatha asked Scott.
"Not yet, but we'll know soon.

I expect George told you Stormont has floated a company to work the claims his men staked behind our block." They had some hours to wait because the meeting was in the afternoon, and Agatha found the shops strangely unattractive; moreover, she did not know if it would be prudent to buy the things she wanted.

In the afternoon she went to the Canadian-Pacific Station, and being told the train had left Ottawa late, she sat down in the neighboring square by the Cathedral.

She was surprised to find that she was nervous, but this was not altogether because of the money at stake.
