Mostly the people were farmers and their wives going in to the local market town for market day. Theelderly taxi which was all that the district boasted rattled and screeched its way into the station yard and shuddered to a halt justas the train finally rumbled into the station. Mrs. Smith, a stout elderly woman whom I knew well by sight, tumbled outclutching a shabby bag, a mackintosh and various parcels. Puffing and panting, she shoved her way through the crowd till shereached the engine, and, to my intense amusement, climbed up into the cab.“Bill,” she bellowed above the noise of the train. “Sarah’s had the baby—it’s a boy!”All the would-be passengers let out a cheer and I realized that of course Mrs. Smith was the engine driver’s aunt.“Thanks!” said Bill. The engine gave out an ear-splitting whistle and we hastily climbed in.Bill’s delight in his fatherhood expressed itself by the speed at which he drove the train and never have I had such aterrifying journey by rail.
