A study of the railroad schedule showed that the next train for Boston left at five-fifty-five in the morning and that the only other train was at two-forty in the afternoon.
"Five-fifty-five's a perfectly punk time for a train to leave anywhere, even Provincetown," objected Neil.

"And the two-forty will get me to Boston too late for anything but a midnight train to New York." "Bother trains," said Steve.

"We'll run you to Boston tomorrow in the boat.

We can do it in four hours or so.

If the _Follow Me_ crowd want to stay here another day we'll wait for them at Boston, or we'll go on and meet them further up the shore." "But I don't want to hurry you chaps away from the Cape," expostulated Neil.
