pressed Mrs. Rossall . ` Half-past six . I never can sleep these short summer nights . I was up about five o'clock , and just as I was going to read I saw the railway time-table . I looked for the first train and determined to come by it . I wrote a short note to let mother know what had become of me , then in a minute or two I got my things packed , and last of all stole out of the house to find a cab . Luckily , a policeman was just passing the door ; he found one for me in no time .
