A long swaying Journey, marked with much grunting ou the part of the bearers, and great clattering of board runways un der foot, brought them to a dark shed. This must be the loading platform for the hoepilal trains, for Eadie could bear an engine panting somewhere and the dank and rattle of shifting cars.
