Journey Into Fear Page #4

---

What did she say?

- Here.

I don't need this!

Put it in your pocket, it will make you feel nicer to have it!

I never fired one of these things, you know!

That's a good one, Howard!

- What?

You're a ballistics expert and you never fired a gun!

Well, I just never did!

It's very simple, you just point it and pull the trigger.

Oh, I know how it works.

- Take it with you anyway.

Look Howard, they are loosing it.

You'd better go. Come!

Write me a line.

Uh... Goodbye.

Goodbye, Howard.

I was just going to telephone my wife.

I will see that she is assured and safely on the train.

What's that? Cows?

Mostly cows.

It's clever, isn't it?

What's clever?

For you, Graham, so unlikely means of transportation

is better than a disguise...

Now with Mrs. Graham,

it might be safer to practice a little deception, hmm?

- Hmm?

You can cable her when you stop at Trabzon. "C'est la guerre. "

What?

War is war.

You have your passport?

Oh... yes.

Oh, I've got my wife's here too...

And I see you're arming yourself...

It's one thing to be a soldier, is it not...

If the enemy is not looking for you in particular, because you're Mr. Howard Graham...

The fellow next to you will do just as nicely.

That's Stephanie's.

I will see to it that it is delivered...

- Thank you.

You have this advantage over the soldier, Mr. Graham:

you can run away without being a coward.

Do not worry about your wife, Graham.

I will take care of her personally.

Happy journey.

This way.

Cabin 2.

Are you Cabin 2? Graham, Howard?

- Yes.

Haven't you got any better accommodations?

The cabins are all the same, Monsieur.

About your luggage, we don't seem able to find it.

I haven't got any luggage!

- No luggage?

- That's right, no luggage!

- Hello!

- I do not think that you are sincere after all.

What do you mean?

Tell me truthfully why you are on this boat.

You wouldn't believe me.

Very well, I'm not inquisitive.

Well if you really want to know, I took the boat to get away from somebody who's trying to shoot me.

I'd sooner you'd be grave about lying than joke about killing.

If you wish me to like you, you mustn't say such things.

I apologize.

Are you going somewhere on behalf of a dancing engagement?

India perhaps, I do not know. I hope so.

So much is closed on account of the war.

How long have you been dancing?

Since I was 10, that's 20 years ago.

You see, I do not lie to you about my age.

I was born in the Pyrenees,

my mother and father were very poor.

But honest, no doubt?

Oh no... my father was not at all honest.

I tell everything about myself but about you I know nothing, except that you have a nice house...
