				Lesson 2    Text  ( Page 3)
			“Very close in here,(14)” he said.         “Quite oppressive,”(15)said the man next to him.         And then they both began sniffing, and,at the third sniff, they caught it right on the chest,(16)and rose up without another word and went out. And then a stout Lady got up, and said it was disgraceful that a respectable married woman should be harried about in this way,and gathered up a bag and eight parcels and went. The remaining four passengers sat on for a while, until a solemn-looking man in the corner who, from his dress and general appearance, seemed to belong to (17)the undertaker class, said it put him in mind of a dead baby;(18) and the other three passengers tried to get out of the door at the same time, and hurt themselves.         I smiled at the black gentleman, and said I thought we were going to have the carriage to ourselves;(19) and he laughed pleasantly and said that some people made such a fuss over(20) a little thing. But even he grew strangely depressed(21) after we had started, and so, when we reached Crewe, I asked him to come and have a drink. He accepted, and we forced our way into the buffet,(22) where we yelled, and stamped, and waved our umbrellas for a quarter of an hour; and then a young lady came and asked us if we wanted anything.
