She finally hung up the receiver and they entered the automobile and an hour later the train . It was a Montreal , Ottawa and Quebec express , and it ran without stopping to Albany . By the time it was nearing the latter place Suzanne was going to bed -- and because it was a private car -- Mrs. Dale explained that the president of the road had lent it to her -- no announcement of its arrival , which would have aroused Suzanne , was made by the porter . When it stopped there shortly after ten o'clock it was the last car at the south end of the train , and you could hear voices calling , but just what it was was not possible to say . Suzanne , who had already gone to bed , fancied it might be Poughkeepsie or some wayside station . Her mother 's statement was that since they arrived so late , the car would be switched to a siding , and they would stay aboard until morning . Nevertheless , she and Kinroy were alert to prevent any untoward demonstration or decision on Suzanne 's part , and so , as the train went on , she slept soundly until Burlington in the far northern part of Vermont was reached the next morning .
