Each morning the dreary walk to the American Express, and each morning the inevitable answer from the clerk.

大约四点钟有一趟火车驶离北方车站,我在计算时间—银行、英国领事馆、美国捷运公司、火车站。
There was a train leaving the Gare du Nord at four o'clock, or thereabouts. I was figuring it our the bank, the Consulate, the American Express, the station.
I remember passing this way the other morning on my way to the American Express, knowing in advance that there would be no mail for me, no check, no cable, nothing, nothing.
