About this book
On Time, or Bound to Get There, is by Oliver Optic. Tommy Toppleton rules all Middleport by ruling his father, the magnate of the town. The narrator was daily in fear that an accident would occur on the road through unskilful management of the locomotive, and is almost sure that Colonel Wimpleton would have hailed such a catastrophe with satisfaction, so deep and bitter was his hatred of Major Toppleton.
The Ucayga started this morning without waiting for the arrival of the up-lake steamer. Mr. Waddie Wimpleton demands to know what Wolf Penniman is doing on the boat, and the answer is that the speaker is going down to Ruoara on her. The narrator describes a boatman fully his equal, if not his superior, whose mother was poor and in ill-health so that she depended mainly upon him for her support.
