" Dot, take it easy, sit down you were just knocked down," He said.
She resisted, protesting she was alright.
" Look, theirs the conductor and engineer," She said.
Tip and Herbert cut the ropes and lay him down, rubbing his arms to get the circulation back as Dot took a seat. The conductor stirred and suddenly got up.
" Take it easy Sir!" Tip said. as they tried to steady Him.
He felt his head.
" Who did it? did you?" He asked.
Dot gasped.
" No sir, we only came because we heard you were knocked out.." Tip was cut off.
" You all theifs! you stole the money! you get out off this train right now!" He bawled.
Dot and Herbert and Tip exchanged glances.
" Sir I-" Herbert tried to interfere.
The conductor pointed to the door.
" Out!" He said.
The stewards hurried up.
" Mr. Clenchy, please take a seat, you don't look so good," One of them said.
The steward took a chair and offered it to him. Mr. Clenchy sat down.
" Get them off this train, those theivs and get the police on their tail, they robbed this train," He hissed.
The engineer complied.
Dot was helpless, Herbert stepped up to say something but they could say nothing to make the Conductor, Mr. Clenchy believe them, soon they were pushed out with their luggage out of the train, in the middle of nowhere. The train hissed and pulled away
