At once the small man ran up the porter and said, “Can I catch the 10:35 train to London, porter?” He was breathing very fast, and he seemed worried.
The old porter looked at him for a moment and then said with a smile, “Well, sir, I’d like to help you, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know how fast you can run along rails. You see,” he explained, “the 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago.”
