There were no signs of other passengers, no other luggage.

As a matter of fact, according to the time-table, no train was due to leave the station or to arrive at it, on this particular platform, for several hours.
Down at the other end of the platform the wooden barrier was thrust back, and a porter with some luggage upon a barrow made his noisy approach.

He was followed by a tall young man in a grey tweed suit and a straw hat on which were the colours of a famous cricket club.
The inspector watched them curiously.

"Lost his way, I should think," he observed.
The station-master nodded.

"It looks like the young man who missed the boat train," he remarked.
