Chapter XIII
Maisie carried her eyes wistfully to the train, where, amid cries of _"En voiture, en voiture!"_ heads were at windows and doors banging loud. The porter was pressing. _"Ah vous n'avez plus le temps!"_ "It's going--it's going!" cried Maisie. They watched it move, they watched it start; then the man went his way with a shrug. "It's gone!"
