noon
Jacob closed his note-book and concluded : `` That 's all . To-day 's doings will be entered this evening . '' `` You can enter them now , M. Jacob . ` 12 noon . M. Daubrecq sends me to the Wagon-Lits Co. . I book two berths in the Paris sleeping-car , by the 2.48 train , and send them to M. Daubrecq by express messenger . Then I take the 12.58 train for Vintimille , the frontier-station , where I spend the day on the platform watching all the travellers who come to France .
