The great Overland,superscript,1,baseline, came rushing into the little station like a black monster, puffing and steaming, its red eye blazing.

Where all had been a leisurely expectancy now all was bustle and confusion. The supper-bell rung from the balcony above rose superior to all other sounds. The passengers came hurrying out; those who had dined on the train to stroll about the plaza for fresh air.
