It 's all very well , Cyrus , to say that they will be there , but you do n't know . And it 's all very well to say not to be nervous because everything will be all right . If you were seventy-five years old and had never set foot on the cars in your life you 'd be nervous too , and you ca n't be sure that everything will be all right . You never know what sort of people you 'll meet on the train . I may get on the wrong train or lose my ticket or get carried past Green Village or get my pocket picked . Well , no , I wo n't do that , for not one cent will I carry with me . You shall take back home all the money you do n't need to get my ticket . Then I shall be easier in my mind . Dear , oh dear , if it was n't that Delia is so seriously ill I would n't go one step . '' `` Oh , you 'll be all right , Grandma , '' assured Cyrus . He got Grandma 's ticket for her and Grandma tied it up in the corner of her handkerchief . Then the train came in and Grandma , clinging closely to Cyrus , was put on it . Cyrus found a comfortable seat for her and shook hands cheerily . `` Good-bye , Grandma . Do n't be frightened . Here 's the Weekly Argus . I got it at the store . You may like to look over it . '' Then Cyrus was gone , and in a minute the station house and platform began to glide away . Dear , oh dear , what has happened to it ?
