Hugh Hamilton
The train slowed to immobility.
"Why are we stopping?" asked Hugh to some nameless employee
"The fire has messed up certain things."
"Has it?"
"Yes."
"Well when will we start moving again," asked Hugh impatiently
"A few days."
"Curses! How close are we to Orwent?"
"A fair walk I should imagine."
"Blast! That sets me back. Oh and can I, perchance, have a list of everyone who was on this train?"
The employee stared at him blankly before Hugh got the hint and handed him twenty five dollars. When he had the relevant documents, Hugh decided to leap out of the window for some fresh air. As he wandered past the carriages he suddenly noticed the doctor through the window hurriedly packing bags.
"Ah Ha!" he said aloud, being unable to access italics. "I must keep an eye on him; he exudes an air of suspicion."
All of a sudden Hugh was struck by Tom and Ben hurtling through the air from the road to his left.
When he caught his breath again, Hugh thought it polite to ruthlessly interrogate the pair as to why they had ended up by the train. He was sure Ben wouldn't disappoint him.
