[03:50.19]John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train

[03:56.15]and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment 3.

[04:01.79]We were on our way back from a camping holiday.

[04:06.33]we had lived roughly for over two weeks and even a cigarette was a luxury at that moment.

[04:13.99]I felt in my pocket for a box of matches,but could not find any.

[04:19.66]"I haven't got any either," said John.

[04:23.71]Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.

[04:29.56]"Excuse me,sir,"said John,leaning across.

[04:34.81]"Could you give me a light,please?"

[04:38.47]The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern 4 face.

[04:45.91]"This is a no smoking compartment," the man said.

[04:50.95]He indicated the notice near the window.

[04:55.00]We apologized and put away our cigarettes.

[04:59.44]The man went on,in a rather more kind way to warn us against the dangers of smoking.

[10:00.79]Usually I don't have any headache.

[10:04.55]but I awoke with a dull ache on the left side of my head.

[10:09.41]Several disturbing dreams had given me a restless night.

[10:14.35]though I could only remember them vaguely 7.

[10:18.11]In one dream I recalled shouting at someone and being involved in a fight.

[10:23.67]There was also something about an animas.
