As the train went close to the seaside town where I was going to spend my holidays,I went into the corridor to breathe in the fresh sea air.I exchanged a few words with one of the passages,whom I had met earlier on the station
When I turned to go back to my seat,I happened to look into the compartment next to mine.Sitting there was a man who many years before had been my neighbour,who was a great talker; it used to take hours to get away from him once he began a conversation.I was not all sorry when he went to live in another part of London.We had not met since then,nor did I wish to meet him now,when my holiday was about to begin.
Luckily at the moment he was much too busy talking to the man opposite him to catch sight of me.I slipped back into my compartment and moved to the far end of the corridor so as to be ready to get off the train as soon as it stopped.The moment the train came to a stop,I called a porter,who in no time at all had carried my luggage out of the station and found me a taxi.As I drove towards my small hotel,I breathed a deep sigh of relief at my narrow escape.There was little change that I should run into my boring ex-neighbor again.
When I reached the hotel,I went straight to my room and rested there until it was time for dinner.Then I went down to the dining-room and ordered a drink.I had hardly raised the glass to my lips when an all too familiar voice greeted me.I had not escaped from the tiresome neighbour after all!He grasped me warmly by the hand and insisted that we share a table.” This is a pleasant surprise,” he said,” I never expected to see you again after all these years.”
