C S Lewis And The Body In The Basement (C S Lewis Mysteries Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
In the early hours of the morning we stopped in the village of Plumwood where the only other passenger in my carriage got off, taking his hen with him. The hen once again opened one eye but took no serious interest in the proceedings (clearly a seasoned traveller to whom one railway station was much the same as any other). Further down the platform I could hear some of the milk cans being unloaded. Then we were off again. Now I was the only occupant of the carriage, so I stretched out my legs and rested my feet on the seat facing me. Not, I grant you, the behaviour of a gentleman, but perhaps understandable in a gentleman who would much rather have been tucked up in a nice warm bed. We passed through a tunnel where both the sound of the locomotive and the smell of coal smoke became more noticeable. Back out in the open air, spots of rain began to splash against the windows of the carriage. Steadily the rain got heavier, and within ten minutes it was a torrential downpour that drummed on the roof of the carriage and thundered like a waterfall down the windows.
