Description
Excerpt from Forty Minutes Late and Other Stories, 1909
T began to snow half an hour after the train started - a fine-grained, slanting, determined snow that forced its way between the bellows of the vestibules, and deposited itself in mounds of powdered salt all over the platforms and steps. Even the porter had caught some puffs on his depot coat with the red cape, and so had the conductor, from the way he thrashed his cap on the back of the seat in front of mine.
Yes, gettin'' worse, he said in answer to an inquiring lift of my eyebrows. Everything will be balled up if this keeps on.
Shall we make the connection at Bondville? I was to lecture fifty miles from Bondville J unc tion, and had but half an hour lee-way.
