Excerpt from Simplicity

A slackening of speed, and a rattling as the train passed over some points, causing the carriages to rock and jolt rather more than was entirely pleasant to their occupants, told the passengers that another station had been reached. To most of them, however, this was a fact of small importance, as the station was only a small wayside one, and if any of them gave a second thought to the matter, or expressed an opinion about it, it was to wish that the presiding powers of the railway company would provide a train which would accomplish the twenty mile cross-country journey in anything less than an hour, and which would start not later than twenty minutes after its advertised time.
