She's ill.

Maybe she's dying.

Miss Chester, is there any truth

in the reports you came east

to avoid the attentions of Prince Ali?

Oh, none whatever...

we're just good friends.

Your grandmother's supposed to be ill,

Miss Chester?

Oh, yes...desperately...that's why

I'm making this trip.

She's so worried about grandma,

she's held the train up 5 minutes already.

Wrong again, brother...

we're waiting for Anthony Amberton.

Anthony Amberton?

Haven't you read his books?

I'm just crazy about them!

Let's find him!

Hold it Miss Chester!

Hey, wait a minute, Joe...

how many more plates you got left?

Just one.

Well, let's beat it out of here.

Go over there and get a shot

of Anthony Amberton.

Where?

Give him this!

Maybe it'll make a prettier picture!

Car 47, boys.

All recent papers and periodicals.

Have you Anthony Amberton's

'Women in the Orient'?

Yes I have one, madam.

I'm slipping...

...yes I'm slipping...

Boyce...I'm through!

I'm going to bed...and I don't want

to get up until we get in.

I don't want to see anybody,

do you understand?

I don't want to see

a single soul.

I'll have my dinner in here.

Who do you want to serve it to you...

The Invisible Man?

You too, Brutus?!

Worse than the jungle...

photographers like savages everywhere.

I've climbed Mt Everest,

I've swum the Hellespont...

I've crossed the Andes on a llama!

But I've never been through

anything like this before...

even in darkest Africa!

Sanctuary!

It sure is nice to have you

with us, Mr...Amberton!

You know, I got kind of leanings

for exploration myself...

I got as far as Honolulu

one time, sir.

We'll swap travelogues

in the morning.

In the meantime I don't want to see

a single soul...I'll have my dinner in here.

Yes sir. No out in Honolulu

when a gentleman wants his dinner, sir.

Get me the train stenographer...

I got some work to do.

Yes sir!

That's like what I said

about out in Honolulu.

Here...buy yourself a ukulele.

Yes sir!

There's another celebrity on board,

Mr Amberton...Cherry Chester.

Cherry Chester?!

Nobody's named "Cherry Chester."

Sounds like a hero

in a costume picture,

Is "Cherry Chester"

some kind of soft drink?

"Brave adventurer"...

Probably afraid to cross the street.

She's the motion picture star!

"Loathes cities... loves hardship..."

I abhor pictures.

I bet he's lost without

his hot-water bottle!

Marshmallow-faced movie stars

make me sick.

Ah..."Mr Amberton and his camel".

Oh, I see...he's the one

with the hat on!

To me, the simple primitive woman

with a small, high chest...

"Mr Amberton has conquered

the highest peaks known to travellers".

Oh...blah!

A woman of long silences...
