Dear
Mr.
Jabez
Inglewood
--
Thank
you
very
much
.
We
did
not
want
to
be
rewarded
but
only
to
save
the
train
,
but
we
are
glad
you
think
so
and
thank
you
very
much
.
The
time
and
place
you
say
will
be
quite
convenient
to
us
.
Thank
you
very
much
.
"
Your
affecate
little
friend
,
"
Then
came
the
name
,
and
after
it
:
--
"
P.S.
Thank
you
very
much
.
"
"
Washing
is
much
easier
than
ironing
,
"
said
Bobbie
,
taking
the
clean
dry
dresses
off
the
line
.
"
I
do
love
to
see
things
come
clean
.
Oh
--
I
do
n't
know
how
we
shall
wait
till
it
's
time
to
know
what
presentation
they
're
going
to
present
!
"
When
at
last
--
it
seemed
a
very
long
time
after
--
it
was
THE
day
,
the
three
children
went
down
to
the
station
at
the
proper
time
.
And
everything
that
happened
was
so
odd
that
it
seemed
like
a
dream
.
The
Station
Master
came
out
to
meet
them
--
in
his
best
clothes
,
as
Peter
noticed
at
once
--
and
led
them
into
the
waiting
room
where
once
they
had
played
the
advertisement
game
.
It
looked
quite
different
now
.
A
carpet
had
been
put
down
--
and
there
were
pots
of
roses
on
the
mantelpiece
and
on
the
window
ledges
--
green
branches
stuck
up
,
like
holly
and
laurel
are
at
Christmas
,
over
the
framed
advertisement
of
Cook
's
Tours
and
the
Beauties
of
Devon
and
the
Paris
Lyons
Railway
.
There
were
quite
a
number
of
people
there
besides
the
Porter
--
two
or
three
ladies
in
smart
dresses
,
and
quite
a
crowd
of
gentlemen
in
high
hats
and
frock
coats
--
besides
everybody
who
belonged
to
the
station
.
They
recognized
several
people
who
had
been
in
the
train
on
the
red-flannel-petticoat
day
.
Best
of
all
their
own
old
gentleman
was
there
,
and
his
coat
and
hat
and
collar
seemed
more
than
ever
different
from
anyone
else
's
.
He
shook
hands
with
them
and
then
everybody
sat
down
on
chairs
,
and
a
gentleman
in
spectacles
--
they
found
out
afterwards
that
he
was
the
District
Superintendent
--
began
quite
a
long
speech
--
very
clever
indeed
.
I
am
not
going
to
write
the
speech
down
.
First
,
because
you
would
think
it
dull
;
and
secondly
,
because
it
made
all
the
children
blush
so
,
and
get
so
hot
about
the
ears
that
I
am
quite
anxious
to
get
away
from
this
part
of
the
subject
;
and
thirdly
,
because
the
gentleman
took
so
many
words
to
say
what
he
had
to
say
that
I
really
have
n't
time
to
write
them
down
.
He
said
all
sorts
of
nice
things
about
the
children
's
bravery
and
presence
of
mind
,
and
when
he
had
done
he
sat
down
,
and
everyone
who
was
there
clapped
and
said
,
"
Hear
,
hear
.
"
And
then
the
old
gentleman
got
up
and
said
things
,
too
.
It
was
very
like
a
prize-giving
.
And
then
he
called
the
children
one
by
one
,
by
their
names
,
and
gave
each
of
them
a
beautiful
gold
watch
and
chain
.
And
inside
the
watches
were
engraved
after
the
name
of
the
watch
's
new
owner
:
--
"
From
the
Directors
of
the
Northern
and
Southern
Railway
in
grateful
recognition
of
the
courageous
and
prompt
action
which
averted
an
accident
on
--
--
1905
.
