I was vaguely impressed with the silent dignity, the aloofness, as it were, of that now celebrated place. Our train drew up in the station, which seemed as deserted as that of a small English country town on a Sunday. Here, within a mile of me, I thought, dwell the Powers that Be, whose brains control the destinies of a million men. Here somewhere is the individual who knows my destination and when I am likely to get to it. But this surmise proved incorrect. It was three-thirty on Christmas afternoon and even the staff must lunch. Presently a r.t.o. Issued from a cosy-looking office and crossed the line towards me. His first question was positively painful in its naive simplicity. Who are you he inquired haughtily. My reply was not only correct but dignified. We know nothing about you, he said. The staff officer who should have been here to give you your instructions is away at present. (i think I mentioned that it was Christmas Day I) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
