A visitor from London has got off the train from Whimchester at Ragwort Road, expecting the station to be alongside said road, with a choice of hansom cabs outside waiting to take him on to his destination. This wayside station is however unstaffed, although the helpful train guard is pointing out the muddy track that eventually leads to the road, actually a stony track, which after a couple of rather tedious miles brings you to the hamlet of Ragwort. From the look of the theatening sky, the visitor is in for a soggy tramp.
