"Then the doors opened and the passengers came out and the
porters got the luggage - just like life. Only - only when anyone
came down too far towards us that was watchin', they walked
right out o' the picture, so to speak . . . Quite slowly, from be'ind
two porters - carryin' a little reticule an' lookin' from side to side
- comes our Mrs Bathurst. There was no mistakin' the walk in a
hundred thousand. She come forward - right forward - she
looked out straight at us with the blindish look which Pritch
alluded to. She walked on and on till she melted out of the
picture - like - like a shadow jumping over a candle . . . "
