Excerpt from Odd Lengths
No one was up when I came away, said Mrs. Chandler, when at last the train was moving. They had been a quarter of an hour too soon on the cold and almost empty platform, and had found a second-class compartment all to themselves.
I made a cup of tea, and snatched a bit of bread-and-butter. Quite enough l I didn't trouble about the kettle, said Mrs. Simpson; I saved some cold tea and a couple of oatmeal biscuits. I never an eat when I have a day like this before me.
No. We can get a bun or a scone somewhere, if you should feel faint. I shall be all right till tea-time.
