L60-3: Too earlyand too late
An even hardersituation is to be on the platform in good time for a train and still to see itgo off without you. Such an experience befell a certain young girl the firsttime she was traveling alone. She entered the station twenty minutes before thetrain was due, since her parents had impressed upon her that it would beunforgivable to miss it and cause the friends with whom she was going to stayto make two journeys to meet her.
She gave herluggage to a porter and showed him her ticket. To her horror he said that shewas two hours too soon. She felt in her handbag for the piece of paper on whichher father had written down all the details of the journey and gave it to theporter. He agreed that a train did come into the station at the time on thepaper and that it did stop, but only to take on mail, not passengers.
