When tue train left the Thellamere
station on its way to Irlford, our picnic
party was scattered about in different
parts IT, for the platform was crowd
ed, tie train was full, and people had to
find seats where they could. Never
theless it was not from pure accident
that Philip and Angela found them
selves alone in a first-class compartment.
An extra carriage had to be put on
for the accommodation of the TOO nu-
merous excursionists, and while the
others had all been running about, and
squeezing themselves into already over
flowing carriages, Philip, turning to
Angela. said:
