Then
when
the
next
train
came
in
and
stopped
,
Bobbie
went
across
the
metals
of
the
up-line
and
stood
beside
the
engine
.
She
had
never
been
so
close
to
an
engine
before
.
It
looked
much
larger
and
harder
than
she
had
expected
,
and
it
made
her
feel
very
small
indeed
,
and
,
somehow
,
very
soft
--
as
if
she
could
very
,
very
easily
be
hurt
rather
badly
.
"
I
know
what
silk-worms
feel
like
now
,
"
said
Bobbie
to
herself
.
The
engine-driver
and
fireman
did
not
see
her
.
They
were
leaning
out
on
the
other
side
,
telling
the
Porter
a
tale
about
a
dog
and
a
leg
of
mutton
.
"
If
you
please
,
"
said
Roberta
--
but
the
engine
was
blowing
off
steam
and
no
one
heard
her
.
"
If
you
please
,
Mr.
Engineer
,
"
she
spoke
a
little
louder
,
but
the
Engine
happened
to
speak
at
the
same
moment
,
and
of
course
Roberta
's
soft
little
voice
had
n't
a
chance
.
It
seemed
to
her
that
the
only
way
would
be
to
climb
on
to
the
engine
and
pull
at
their
coats
.
The
step
was
high
,
but
she
got
her
knee
on
it
,
and
clambered
into
the
cab
;
she
stumbled
and
fell
on
hands
and
knees
on
the
base
of
the
great
heap
of
coals
that
led
up
to
the
square
opening
in
the
tender
.
The
engine
was
not
above
the
weaknesses
of
its
fellows
;
it
was
making
a
great
deal
more
noise
than
there
was
the
slightest
need
for
.
And
just
as
Roberta
fell
on
the
coals
,
the
engine-driver
,
who
had
turned
without
seeing
her
,
started
the
engine
,
and
when
Bobbie
had
picked
herself
up
,
the
train
was
moving
--
not
fast
,
but
much
too
fast
for
her
to
get
off
.
All
sorts
of
dreadful
thoughts
came
to
her
all
together
in
one
horrible
flash
.
There
were
such
things
as
express
trains
that
went
on
,
she
supposed
,
for
hundreds
of
miles
without
stopping
.
Suppose
this
should
be
one
of
them
?
How
would
she
get
home
again
?
She
had
no
money
to
pay
for
the
return
journey
.
"
And
I
've
no
business
here
.
I
'm
an
engine-burglar
--
that
's
what
I
am
,
"
she
thought
.
"
I
should
n't
wonder
if
they
could
lock
me
up
for
this
.
"
And
the
train
was
going
faster
and
faster
.
There
was
something
in
her
throat
that
made
it
impossible
for
her
to
speak
.
She
tried
twice
.
The
men
had
their
backs
to
her
.
They
were
doing
something
to
things
that
looked
like
taps
.
Suddenly
she
put
out
her
hand
and
caught
hold
of
the
nearest
sleeve
.
The
man
turned
with
a
start
,
and
he
and
Roberta
stood
for
a
minute
looking
at
each
other
in
silence
.
Then
the
silence
was
broken
by
them
both
.
