"I am afraid that seat's taken, sir," said B. when he had recovered his surprise at the man's coolness. "In fact, all the seats in this carriage are taken." "I can't help that," replied the ruffian, cynically. "I've got to get to Cologne some time to day, and there seems no other way of doing it that I can see."

Just as we were in the middle of our villainy, the organ-grinder or the child would have struck up, and we should have burst into tears, and have rushed from the carriage, and have fallen upon each other's necks outside on the platform, and have wept, and waited for the next train. As it was, after looking carefully round to see that nobody was watching us, we slipped quickly into the carriage, and, making room for ourselves among the luggage there, sat down and tried to look innocent and easy.

A few seconds later another man got into the carriage. He also made room for himself among the luggage and sat down.
