Watches

Ingersoll watch

Annie repeatedly compares her Ingersoll watch with the station clock while nervously waiting for the correct train.

Source text: She glanced uneasily at the clock every few minutes and constantly compared with it an Ingersoll watch which each time she had to search for in her bag. Several trains were called and every time she got up and made a rush for the gates, but each time came back to her seat opposite me. (Project Gutenberg ebook 36018)
