ten o'clock
Mrs. Hutchins embraced me . And through her tears she , too , looked long into my face . When she had released me Ezra had his watch in his hand . `` If you 're going on the ten o'clock train , Hugh -- '' `` Father ! '' Maude protested , laughing , `` I must say I do n't call that very polite . '' ... In the train I slept but fitfully , awakening again and again to recall the extraordinary fact that I was now engaged to be married , to go over the incidents of the evening . Indifferent to the backings and the bumpings of the car , the voices in the stations , the clanging of locomotive bells and all the incomprehensible startings and stoppings , exalted yet troubled I beheld Maude luminous with the love I had amazingly awakened , a love somewhere beyond my comprehension .
