6:30 p.m.
`` How ? What do you mean ? '' asked Edwin . `` I mean that , from various indications which I observed this evening , we are likely to have some little correspondence with the passengers of the 6:30 p.m. train . However , we 're used to it ; perhaps we 'll get not to mind it in course of time . We do all that we can to accommodate the public -- fit up our carriages and stations in the best style compatible with giving our shareholders a small dividend -- carry them to and fro over the land at little short of lightning speed , every day and all day and night too , for extremely moderate fares , and with excessive safety and exceeding comfort ; enable them to live in the country and do business in the city , as well as afford facilities for visiting the very ends of the earth in a few days ; not to mention other innumerable blessings to which we run them , or which we run _ to _ them , and yet no sooner does a rare accident occur -LRB- as it _ will _ occur in every human institution , though it occurs less on railways than in most other institutions -RRB- than down comes this ungrateful public upon us with indignant cries of ` disgraceful ! ' and , in many cases , unreasonable demands for compensation . ''
