Roland Whately: A Novel (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Roland Whately: A Novel

T began, I suppose, on a certain September after noon, when Roland Whately travelled back to school by the three-thirty train from Waterloo.

There were two afternoon trains to Fernhurst: one left London at three-thirty and arrived at a quarter to six the other left at four-eighteen, stopped at every station between Basingstoke and Salisbury, waited twenty-five minutes at Templecombe for a connection, and finally reached Fernhurst at eight-twenty-three. It is need less to state that by far the greater part of the school travelled down by the four-eighteen - who for the sake of a fast train and a comfortable journey would surrender forty-eight minutes of his holidays - and usually, of course, Roland accompanied the many.
