A Play for Broadcasting by HOLT MARVELL and CYRIL LISTER
One day we shall find ourselves, Suddenly,
Each one of us,
Travelling in a manner we are unprepared for, To a continent no living man Has ever visited.
But since the summons Is so imperative,
And our arrival is expected,
We shall not, perhaps, be called upon To undertake this formidable journey Unattended.
Characters :
The Continental Boat Train is due to leave the Southern Terminus in a few minutes.
The platform is like a stage where passengers, porters, newsboys, guards and inspectors are playing their cheerful, bustling parts in the diurnal tragi-comedy of departure.
