The Lady Vanishes Page #4

lf you don't hurry, Margaret, we shan't

get that compartment to ourselves.

Does it matter?

There's time

to change your mind.

Send Charles a telegram

and tell him he's all washed up.

This time next week, l shall be a

slightly sunburnt offering on an altar.

l shan't mind, really.

Good morning. l can't find my bag.

lt's a brown hold-all.

Have you seen it?

No, of course not, thank you.

She's dropped her glasses.

-You dropped your glasses.

-Thank you...

Oh dear! Oh dear!

-Are you hurt?

-l don't know. What was it?

Never mind. This cockeyed station

has practically brained my friend.

-Yes, indeed.

-What are you going to do?

-He can't hold the train.

-l like that!

-Hurry up. lt's going.

-l'm all right.

-Are you sure?

-Don't worry...

l'll look after her.

Such carelessness.

-Are you sure you're all right?

-Send us the Times.

-Write and tell us all about it.

-Good luck. Look after yourself.

You'll be all right in a minute.

Just take everything quietly.

Put this eau de cologne

on your head.

-Do you feel any better?

-Yes, thank you. l'm all right.

What you need is a good strong cup

of tea. l'll ring for the attendant.

No, please, don't bother. l'll go to the

dining car myself. l need some air.

-l'll come with you, if you don't mind.

-No, of course not.

l beg your pardon.

l'm so sorry.

You can always tell a honeymoon

couple. They're so shy.

-Why did you do that?

-We don't want people staring.

You'd think the whole legal

profession was after you.

One would be enough.

You thought that beggar in

Damascus was a barrister.

l just said he looked like

a judge.

You hurried off

in the opposite direction.

That's not true. l was looking

for a street called ''Straight''.

-You weren't so careful at first.

-l know.

And what about me? Robert thinks

l'm cruising with Mother.

lf one is feeling shaky, it's best to

sit in the middle of the coach...

facing the engine.

-A pot of tea, please.

-Very good.

And just a minute.

Will you please tell them to make it

from this? l don't drink any other.

And make sure the water is

really boiling. Do you understand?

lt's a little fad of mine. My dear father

and mother, who are still alive...

and enjoying good health, drink it

and so l follow their footsteps.

A million Mexicans drink it. At least

that's what it says on the packet.

lt's very kind of you

to help me.

l don't think

we've introduced ourselves.

My name's lris Henderson,

l'm going home to be married.

How very exciting.

l do hope you'll be happy.

-Thank you.

-You'll have children, won't you?

They make such a difference. l always

think it's being with kiddies so much...

that's made me so young for my age.
