I could see him looking at me when he was on the phone and as soon as he hung up I thought he would be leaving , But he came around to where I was sta...ding and said that who ever he was talking to was going to call him back aand could he wait a few min untill they called him back ?I told him he could , what else could I say ?He leaned over close ,he pushed my hair away from my ear, and whispered in my ear that I was the hottest thing he had saw in a long time, that he was hopeing he could talk. Emma quickly buttons up the cloak and steps into her shoes. The men and Connie hurry and stand in a line at the door. The one says, “Donald, I am sorry, we may have stepped over the line just joking tonight, but we understand what you are saying, and yes, I think these enjoyable interludes have run their course.”Then as Donald and Emma leave, each of the men, in turn, take Emma's hand, shakes it and thank her for being so willing to provide them with the best entertainment they have ever had.. The night was gray-gray wooden building, gray platform, gray drizzle. Two more days of this before I reached Berlin.I had been lucky to make it on the train. At first I'd been told there was no seat for me, but then at the last minute the conductor had motioned me aboard and shown me to a small cabinet at the end of the car. One of the couch-like benches and most of the aisle was stacked with bundled goods on their way to Berlin-probably some sort of sideline scam of one of the railway. As I put my apron on, I let my gaze wander over the room. It looked relatively neat and tidy in here too. I moved around the lounge, picking up cushions from the couch and fluffing them up, replacing them just right... A magazine lay on the floor. I picked it up, and glanced at it's cover as I closed it. Home and Garden. A stunning house on the front, with views overlooking Auckland Harbour. How the other half live eh? I put the magazine away on it's rack and straightened up the other.
