“Katie told me to get this for you, miss,” he said, as he passed the bag to her through the open window.
She peeped inside. There was a smaller bag, and several big peaches.
In the smaller bag were sandwiches, and cream cakes.
What a treat! Clematis often longed for peaches, but had not tasted them very often.
In the station Jerry got down, and led her to the train.
“Here is a passenger for Tilton, New Hampshire,” he said to the conductor.
“All right, Jerry, I’ll look after her.”
The big conductor smiled at the little passenger.
“Come on, sister,” he said, as he stooped to take her box.
“Oh, no, thank you,” said Clematis, hugging it closer than ever.
