   After spending the day in London, he reached the station at rush hour, when all the businessmen were going home to the country from their offices in London. The train was already crowded when Mr. Plummer arrived, and he was afraid that he would have to stand up.
   Then he noticed that there were several empty seats in the first-class compartments and he decided to travel in comfort. He could pay the extra money when the ticket collector came round on the way to Winchester. Mr. Plummer got into a first-class compartment and sat down.
