A ship leaves Mendova at half past eleven every Tuesday morning,and so you will understand that The flying Bluedbird suits me very well,I always travel by it, and I have nearly two and a half hours at Mendova to go from the station to the ship.That is more than enough time, Well,one September night,I took my place_in The flying Bluebird as usual.I had a place by the window, and I hoped for a restful journey.The train leaves Paris at nine o'clock every night,and I was in my place soon after half past eight.There were three or four people there with me,but very soon a lot of others got into the train.When no more people could sit down,they began to stand up near us and also in the corridor.In a short time the corridor was full too,and it was impossible for any more travelers to get into the train. return

When no more people could sit down, they began to stand up near us and also in the corridor. In a short time the corridor was full too, and it was impossible for any more travelers to get into the train. return

I could see a lot of other people outside the corridor windows,but they could not get in,and the train left Paris without them.We left at nine o'clock and were soon traveling very fast. The man sitting next to me started to ask all kinds of questions:"Where do you work?"he said"How long does it take you to get there?Are you married?How many children have you?How much money do they pay you every year? How much have you in the bank?How much do you spend every month?" return

He asked questions for about twenty minutes but I did not give him any clear answers,_and at last he stopped and began to read the paper. I usually sleep quite well in the train,but this time I slept only a little.There were too many people,and there were too many things:small bags,large bags,coats hats, boxes,newspapers and food.As usual,we got angry about the window.Most people wanted it shut,and two of us wanted it open. But that always happens.It was shut all night,as usual. return

The train went on noisily through the night and sometimes I was able to get a little sleep.I was sorry for all the people who were standing up in the corridor.There was no sleep for them:it was hard enough for them to stand up,because the floor was covered with all kinds of things.One or two of them sat on their boxes,but most of them had to stand up all the way. When I awoke in the early morning I felt hot and dirty,and glad that the journey was reaching its end.We were now not far from Mendova;and as soon as we reached Mendova,I always got out and had a wash and something to eat and drink. return
