Thank you.

Quiet tonight.

You must get tired of all that

horrible rabble.

It is quiet. But I happen to miss my

friends.

Would you like to join our party

for the return journey to London?

We're going back to our little son.

May I?

Please.

He's very beautiful, I know.

Hard to think he came from us!

If you'll excuse me.

Ah, dankeschon.

Would you send some supper up to my

room? Yes, of course, madame.

And would you prepare my bill for me?

I'd like to leave tomorrow.

Oh, I thought you were staying on

with us for... I've changed my mind.

Would you book me a seat on the

afternoon express? Yes, of course.

Thank you.

You have a telegram for me?

Oh, yes.

The concierge from the Cigoc Hotel

booked it for me.

As I said, there is

nothing in the name of Iris Carr.

Fine. I'll buy another.

I'm sorry, madame,

there are no more reserved seats

left on the afternoon express.

What?

The reserved class is fully booked.

Well, surely you can find

a seat for me.

You are welcome to wait and see

if there are cancellations.

There is still

time before the train.

I have to get on that train.

I don't care how much it costs.

I cannot sell you a seat

when there are no seats to sell.

Please.

I need to get back to London.

There is a seat, but...

I'll take it.

Ah!

Oh!

Somebody hit me on the head.

Oh, God! Oh, I'm stranded!

I have no money and no passport.

The sun. You fall on ground.

Sunstroke.

No. They stole my money.

I have bag.

I'm too late!

Thank you!

Excuse me.

I have a ticket, for this seat.

Would you mind terribly - the window?

Baroness?

Are you coming to

the restaurant car to get tea?

My name's Winifred Froy, by the way.

Oh! Oh, come on.

It'll be much easier

if I pull you through.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

No, no, I'm sorry.

Oh! It's you.

I was just looking out to see

if our tea was coming.

We decided to travel back

a day earlier.

Well, I suggest we send the jolly old

waiter back here with your tea, pronto.

Oh, that would be kind. My husband

is such a wretched traveller.

Like so many big strong men.

I'm sure the tea will revive him.

Aren't we blocking the way?

You're quite a fragile thing.

I really don't think I should.

Hello.

Yoo-hoo!

Your friend is trying to

attract your attention.

I think I'm imagining things.

No. You are not.

The Baroness has been very rude.

Um, do want anything else

with your tea?

D'you know, I must apologise for not backing

you about the window in the compartment.

So I wasn't imagining

their animosity?

Well, it was stuffy

but I didn't want to interfere

because of the Baroness.

That appalling woman in black.

Yes. You see she is

a member of the family to which
