The morning came; a cab was sought:
The proper time allow’d
To reach the station door; but lo!
Before it stood a crowd.
For half an hour they there were stay’d,
And when they did get in—
“No train! a hoax!” cried clerks agog
To swear through thick and thin.
“Yaa!” went the throats; stamp went the heels;
Were never folks so mad,
