The Lady Vanishes Page #3

Synopsis: Passengers on a scheduled train out of the mountainous European country of Mandrika are delayed by a day due to an avalanche, and thus get up close and personal with each other out of necessity in the only and what becomes an overcrowded inn in the area. Once the train departs, the one person who it is uncertain is on the train is a middle aged English governess named Miss Froy. Iris Henderson, who was vacationing in Mandrika with girlfriends before heading back to England to get married, is certain that Miss Froy was on the train as they were in the same compartment and they had tea together in the dining car, but all those people who can corroborate her story don't seem to want to do so. Iris' thoughts are easily dismissed as a possible concussion as Iris was hit over the head just before boarding the train. Iris will take anyone's help in finding Miss Froy, even that of an Englishman named Gilbert, a musicologist with whom she had a not so pleasant encounter at the inn the evening b

in the morning?

l hope we shall meet again

under quieter circumstances.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Miss, please,

l'll fix everything.

You'd better.

Hold it.

Splendid, don't move.

-lf you please, sir.

-Get out!

One, two.

Please, sir,

will you kindly stop?

They are all complaining in the whole

hotel. You make too much noise.

-Too much what?

-Too much noise.

You dare to call it noise.

The ancient music...

with which your ancestors celebrated

every wedd for countless generations.

What they danced when your

father married your mother...

if you were born in wedlock,

which l doubt. Look at them.

-You are the manager?

-Sure...

l am accustomed to squalor.

Who's complaining?

The young English

lady underneath.

Tell her that l am putting on record

for the benefit of mankind...

one of the lost folk dances

of Central Europe...

and she does not own

the hotel. Get out!

Now, one, two...

He said:
''ls she the Queen of Sheeba?

She thinks she owns the hotel.''

-Can't you get rid of him?

-lmpossible.

Are you sure?

l begin to wonder...

lt's coming back to me.

l have got an idea.

The German lady

will call him and say:

''lt is my room. l did pay for it.

Get out quickly.'' How's that?

Good enough.

We will inject him with a little... He'll

never forget as long as he lives.

Nothing but baseball. Children play

it with a rubber ball and a stick.

Not a word about cricket.

Americans have

no sense of proportion.

Come in.

Can't stand this ridiculous

lack of privacy. Lock the door.

Who are you?

What do you want?

-Recognise the signature tune?

-Will you please get out?

This is a much better room.

Definitely an acceptable room.

What exactly do you think you're

doing? Keep away!

Would you hold these

for a minute?

Put those back at once.

-Which side do you like to sleep?

-Do you want me to throw you out?

ln that case,

l'll sleep in the middle.

Smart of you

to bribe the manager.

An eye for an eye and a tooth

for a toothbrush.

-You're behaving like a complete cad.

-You're at liberty to sleep in the corridor.

Hello.

l shouldn't if l were you. l'd only

tell everyone you invited me here.

And when l say everyone, l mean

everyone. l have a powerful voice.

Come out of there at once!

Not until you bribe the manager

to restore me to my attic.

Come out!

Boris? l might change

my mind about the room upstairs.

Have my things

taken upstairs, will you?

You're the most contemptible person

l've ever met in my life!

l think you're a bit

of a stinker, too.

lf we get to Basle in time,

we should see the match.

Hope the weather's like this in

Manchester. Perfect for cricket.

lsn't it somewhere along here?
