"We'll go to the station." They proceeded to the station--found the station-master--were conducted down to the signal-box.

Lilly naturally hung back from people, but Jim was hob-nob with the station-master and the signal man, quite officer-and-my-men kind of thing.

Lilly sat out on the steps of the signal-box, rather ashamed, while the long telegram was shouted over the telephone to the junction town--first the young lady and her address, then the message "Meet me X.station 3:40 tomorrow walk back great pleasure Jim." Anyhow that was done.

They went home to tea.

After tea, as the evening fell, Lilly suggested a little stroll in the woods, while Tanny prepared the dinner.
