On a cold grey morning of last week I duly turned up at Euston70 to see off an old friend who was starting for America. We were very sad.
And now we were on the platform. And in the window of the railway-carriage, was the face of our friend, so sad.
"Have you got everything?" asked one of us.
"Yes, everything," said our friend.
There was a long pause.
One of us, with a nod and a forced smile at the traveller, said:
"Well"
The nod and the smile were returned conscientiously.
Another pause was broken by one of us with a fit of coughing. It served to pass the time. There was no sign of the train's departure.
A middle-aged man was talking earnestly to a young lady at the next window. His fine profile was vaguely familiar to me.
In a flash I remembered. The man was Hubert Le Ros. But how he changed since last I saw him! That was seven or eight years ago, in the Strand.
It was strange to see him, after all these years here on the platform of Euston, looking so prosperous and solid. He looked like a banker.
"Stand back, please!"
The train was about to start and I waved farewell to my friend. Le Ros did not stand back. He stood clasping in both hands.
"Stand back, sir. please!"Можно ещё подсократить:
