They trust in the train ride, clickety-clacking in rhythms as if to rock the lovers to sleep. Pure linen for the headrests, hand-monogramed. They need nothing else to be at home. It could be anywhere or anytime. The conductor will wake them when destination is upon them. Meanwhile they dream of Avondale, the marriage place, and what is to come as war takes over the trip.
