`` This young lady 's name is ` Mary Jane ' ; and I 'll leave it to you to find anything very masculine in that ! '' It was a short drive from Mrs. Carleton 's Commonwealth Avenue home to the South Station , and Peggy made as quick work of it as the narrow , congested cross streets would allow . In ample time Billy found herself in the great waiting-room , with John saying respectfully in her ear : `` The man says the train comes in on Track Fourteen , Miss , an ' it 's on time . '' At twenty-nine minutes past four Billy left her seat and walked down the train-shed platform to Track Number Fourteen . She had pinned the pink now to the outside of her long coat , and it made an attractive dash of white against the dark-blue velvet . Billy was looking particularly lovely to-day . Framing her face was the big dark-blue velvet picture hat with its becoming white plumes .
