three o'clock
Amelia stopped short in her work , and an ugly frown roughened her brow . Josiah Pease , with all his evil imaginings , seemed to be at her side , his lean forefinger pointing out the baseness of mankind . In that instant , she realized where Enoch had gone . He meant to take the three o'clock train where it halted , down at the Crossing , and he had left the child behind . Tearing off her apron , she threw it over her head . She ran to the door , and , opening it , almost knocked the child down , in her haste to be out and away . Rosie had lifted her frosty face in a smile of welcome , but Amelia did not see it .
