Frederic remained awake for the rest of the train ride, and once they pulled into the station of their destination late in the day, when the sun was almost at the horizon, he gently woke his fiance and son and helped his family off the train. Cabs were parked in the front of the station, barking rates, and Frederic led them toward one of the more friendly-looking fellows. "Hullo!" the cabbie greeted, and cheerfully chattered with Clover, whose nap on the train had given him an absurd amount of energy. As they started along, Frederic moved to hold Karen's hands in his own and he kissed her forehead, then scanned her face for how she was feeling right now.
