I entered a railway carriage at a country

in handsome fur in the window corner. A girl whom I took for the lady’s
daughter sat opposite to her, and {a gentleman whom I took to the lady’s
husband sat next to the girl, while another man occupied the remaining corner
by the corridor. These people had all evidently been in the train sometime and

unfinished. The atmosphere seemed changed with feelings whose expression had
only been suspended and I was not surprised when the train being in motion
hostilities were resumed.
