“That puts you there fifteen minutes before train time?”

“That’s right. That’s what I’m telling you. We were there. If anyone had been there, we’d have seen them.”

“Why did you go to the depot so early?”

“Well, we wanted to be certain that we met the train.”

“You knew it would be there for fifteen minutes? You were pretty excited over seeing these old friends of yours?”

“Well, we were looking forward to it.”

“And as soon as the train pulled in, you started looking for them?”

“Well, we looked over the people all right.”

“Where were your friends?”

“Standing right in the vestibule.”
