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.

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.

But that always happens.It was shut all night,as usual. return
