This gentleman, during almost all the journey thus far, had entered into conversation with no fellow-traveller, as if he carefully avoided all acquaintance. Three persons, however, remained, bound, like myself, for the farthest station: a lady neither young nor pretty, smoking cigarettes, with a thin face, a cap on her head, and wearing a semi-masculine outer garment then her companion, a very loquacious gentleman of about forty years, with baggage entirely new and arranged in an orderly manner then a gentleman who held himself entirely aloof, short in stature, very nervous, of uncertain age, with bright eyes, not pronounced in color, but extremely attractive,-eyes that darted with rapidity from one object to another. Travellers left and entered our car at every stopping of the train. Scarcely had the old man gone when a general conversation began.
