That would be ample warning that it was time to go.
Then from far away, he heard the throbbing of a motor, which grew suddenly louder as it turned the corner of the road by the station.

It seemed to him to be going very fast, and the huge cloud of dust behind it endorsed his impression.

But almost immediately after passing this corner it began to slow down, and the cloud of dust behind it died away.
At the edge of the road where Mr.Taynton sat, there were standing several thick bushes.

He moved a little away from the road, and took up his seat again behind one of them.

The car came very slowly on, and stopped just opposite him.
