Precisely1 at 11.15, the advertised time, the signalman at the Pont de l'Europe, gave the two regulation blows of the horn, to announce the Havre express, which issued from the Batignolles tunnel. Soon afterwards the turn-tables
rattled2, and the train entered the station with a short whistle, grating on the brakes, smoking, shining, dripping with the beating rain that had not ceased since leaving Rouen.
The porters had not yet turned the handles of the doors, when one of them opened, and Séverine sprang lightly to the platform, before the train had stopped. Her carriage was at the end. To reach the locomotive, she had to hurry through the
swarm4 of passengers, embarrassed by children and packages, who had suddenly left the
compartments5. Jacques stood there,
erect6 on the foot-plate, waiting to go to the engine-house; while Pecqueux wiped the brasswork with a cloth.
"So it is understood," said she, on tiptoe. "I will be at the
Rue7 Cardinet at three o'clock, and you will have the kindness to introduce me to your chief, so that I may thank him."
This was the
pretext8 imagined by Roubaud: a visit to the head of the dep?t at Batignolles, to thank him for some vague service he had rendered. In this manner she would find herself
confided10 to the good friendship of the driver. She could strengthen the bonds, and exert her influence over him.
[Pg 133]
But Jacques, black with coal,
drenched11 with water,
exhausted12 by the struggle against rain and wind, stared at her with his harsh eyes, without answering. On leaving Havre, he had been unable to refuse the request of the husband to look after her; and this idea of finding himself alone in her company upset him, for he now felt that he was very decidedly falling in love with her.
