You- an unconditional offer?" Janet asked, shaking with excitementherself as she stood up. "You got in?" I got in!"

Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches.That’s an exceedingly odd number.Why was that gauge used?Because that’s the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the U.S. Railroads.Why did the English build them like that?Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that’s the gauge they used.Why did ‘they’ use that gauge then?Because the people who built the tramways used the same.
