There were\u003cbr\u003etwo private cars, to be exact--a sleeper and a baggage car--and Mr.\u003cbr\u003eJudkins knew the three o'clock train must have left them as it passed\u003cbr\u003ethrough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ah,\" said he aloud; \"the nabobs hev arrove.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Who are the nabobs?\" asked a quiet voice beside him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgain Mr. Judkins started; he even stepped back a pace to get a better\u003cbr\u003eview of the stranger, who had approached so stealthily through the dim\u003cbr\u003elight that the agent was unaware of his existence until he spoke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Who be you?\" he demanded, eyeing the man suspiciously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Never mind who I am,\" retorted the other in a grumpy tone; \"the\u003cbr\u003eoriginal question is 'who are the nabobs?'\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"See here, young feller; this ain't no place fer tramps,\" observed Mr.\u003cbr\u003eJudkins, frowning with evident displeasure; \"Chazy Junction's got all it\u003cbr\u003ekin do to support its reg'lar inhabitants. You'll hev to move on.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stranger sat down on a baggage truck and eyed the private car\u003cbr\u003ereflectively. He wore a rough gray suit, baggy and threadbare, a flannel\u003cbr\u003eshirt with an old black tie carelessly knotted at the collar, a brown\u003cbr\u003efelt hat with several holes in the crown, and coarse cowhide shoes that\u003cbr\u003ehad arrived at the last stages of usefulness. You would judge him to be\u003cbr\u003efrom twenty-five to thirty years of age; you would note that his face\u003cbr\u003ewas browned from exposure, that it was rather set and expressionless but\u003cbr\u003ein no way repulsive. His eyes, dark and retrospective, were his most\u003cbr\u003eredeeming feature, yet betrayed little of their owner's character. Mr.\u003cbr\u003eJudkins could make nothing of the fellow, beyond the fact that he was\u003cbr\u003edoubtless a \"tramp\" and on that account most unwelcome in this retired\u003cbr\u003eneighborhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven tramps were unusual at Chazy Junction. The foothills were sparsely\u003cbr\u003esettled and the inhabitants too humble to be attractive to gentlemen of\u003cbr\u003ethe road, while the rocky highways, tortuous and uneven, offered no\u003cbr\u003einvitation to the professional pedestrian.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178295083248,"sku":"2940013537439","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013537439_p0.jpg?v=1763582621","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013537439","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
