I had been sitting by myself in my usual compartment (车厢) for at least ten minutes, waiting for the train to start. The trains from Brighton never seemed to start on time and I often thought that I could have lain in bed a little longer or had another cup of tea before leaving home. Suddenly I heard someone shouting on the platform outside. A young girl was running towards the train. The man on duty put out his hand to stop her but she ran past him and opened the door of my compartment. Then the whistle blew and the train started. “I nearly missed it, didn’t I?” the girl said, “How long does it take to get to London?” “It depends on the engine driver,” I said. “Some days it’s much slower than others.” “I’ll have to have my watch repaired so as not to be late again tomorrow,” she said. “Today is my first day to work with a new firm and they told me that the man I’ m going to work for is very strict. I haven’t met him yet so I don’t know what he is like, but he sounds a bit of frightening to me.” She talked about her new job on the way to London and soon I realized that she was going to work for my firm. My own secretary had just left so I must be her new boss. It was only fair to tell her. “Oh, dear,” she said. “What a terrible mistake! I wish I had known.” “Never mind,” I said. “At least you’ll know that when your train’s late, mine will be too.”
