Mr. Daffy was there before him ; they met at the entrance to the platform from which their train would start . ` Must you go back by this ? ' asked the tailor . ` My son was n't at home , and wo n't be till about five o'clock . I should be terribly obliged , Mr. Lott , if you could stay and go to Clapham with me . Is it asking too much ? ' The timber-merchant gave a friendly nod , and said it was all the same to him .
