it wasn'tso long ago--
March 1939.
Poland had always seemed
a faraway country.
Yet, as the train ran across
her picturesque countryside,
I thought of
England-- My home.
But they told us there would
be peace in our time.
Little did we know how soon
And how important Poland
was to become
In our time.
"In the 16th century,
Poland was a vast empire
"Extending from the
baltic sea to the crimea.
"In fact, one of the
"Is their memory
of a glorious past.
"For centuries, they successfully
fought with the germans
"And won a high
reputation as fighters
Among the peoples of middle Europe."
Oh, ducky, I don't care whether
the poles are good fighters or not.
At my age, I don't care
what they're good at.
I simply want to know that I'm not being
cheated when I'm buying their antiques.
But we should know
something of the history
Of the country,
don't you think?
Oh, I suppose so.
Go on.
Yes, Mrs. Bromley.
Oh, caramel.
Bad for the bridgework.
Here. Your teeth are
good, ducky.
No, thank you.
Oh.
"But its grandeur
rapidly decayed.
"Its undoing was its proud
and extravagant aristocracy.
"Their quarrels wiped
Poland from the map in 1795,
"At which time
it was partitioned
Among Germany, austria, and russia."
Ah! Marshmallow.
Hmm. I'm listening.
Its undoing was
its aristocracy.
It was almost mine, too.
First deal I ever made
in the antique business
Was when I married
Noel Bromley.
He fell for another woman and I turned
him over at a profit. Heh heh heh!
"Not till 1919,
"At the treaty
of Versailles,
Was Poland's national
independence restored."
Oh, ducky, it's coming
out of my ears.
Read it yourself.
You're good at figures.
Means nothing to me unless
they're in pound sterling.
Well, time for
a little shuteye.
Ring for
the porter, ducky.
Yes, Mrs. Bromley.
[Train whistle blows]
[Steam hissing]
[Brakes screeching]
What's this?
Why did you stop it?
Bromley:
conductor!Conductor!
I thought this was an
express. Why are we stopping?
I am sorry, madame.
Official orders.
We are waiting for
a very important party.
Well, I have an appointment in Warsaw
At 10:
30 tomorrow morning,And that's
important, too.
How long are we going to be here?
I don't know.
I hope not for long.
Well, I don't call it
very diplomatic
To hold up
two british subjects.
This train may not be
limited, but my time is.
[Vehicle approaching]
[Brakes screech]
They've been
on a boar hunt.
Nasty-Looking
creatures.
Aren't they
terribly dangerous?
It is not the boars
Poland fears, madame.
It is the hunters.
[Men talking all at once]
Well, gentlemen...
I am sorry my train
leaves before yours,
But I don't think
you have long to wait.
Only a few minutes. The express
for berlin is due at 10:15.
Thank you, Count. You have
been a very excellent host.
Yes, indeed.
I only regret marshal
goering is not with us.
So do I.
Count:
tell himwe missed him.
I hope he will be with us
on the next hunt.
Man:
you willbe welcome.
And don't forget
to tell his excellency
That Poland is ready
to cooperate at any plans...
For peace.
[Men talking all at once]
Good-Bye.
It has been a pleasure.
Man:
good-Bye, Count.Good-Bye. Good-Bye.
Good-Bye...
All aboard!
All aboard!
A rare piece for your
aristocratic english customers--
A polish antique
of the 16th century.
It belonged to
the...of poznan--
A governor, that is.
Such golden horseshoes
So they should fall off,
and the lucky finder
