Travelling, even in these days, has a certain element of adventure clinging to it still. One's senses are a shade sharpened; one notices things more, and they are apt to impress one or amuse one more. That is probably why one seems to meet such extra ordinary people on stations and in trains. For the people one meets travelling do seem rather extraordinary - though not many of us have had such strange encounters as those that Captain d'Egville will describe tonight.
