twenty
minutes to twelve
An idea occurred to that resourceful lady . ` Perhaps the 11.10 was only to start on other days , not on Saturdays . ' She turned out to be right . However , they discovered a train at twenty minutes to twelve , which would take them where they wanted , though it was not mentioned , apparently , in any timetable , and could only be discovered by accident by someone who was looking for something else . They hung about the station until it arrived , feeling awkward and uncomfortable , as people do when they have arrived too early for a train . Meanwhile they abused Bradshaw , and discussed the weather . Bruce said how wonderful it was how some people always knew what sort of weather it was going to be .
