A friend in need is a friend indeed

When I woke up, we were still at standstill. I went to the dining-car. Everyone was talking animatedly, there were no barriers then. They were worried that they were late for something. I remained with them through all morning in the dining-car, watching, talking and of course eating. Everyone was really impatient, except, which was really strange, Miss Debenham, who as far as I remember was very impatient when we were only 10 minutes late to Istanbul. That got me thinking but the thought passed quickly. Later I was asked by my friend, M.Bouc to join him in his compartment, so I did as he asked. I followed the Wagon Lit conductor to our destination, then he tapped on the door and we walked in. That wasn't his compartment, it was one of the second-class, larger than the rest. I spotted M.Bouc sitting on the small seat, he cried: 'Ah, my good friend, come in. We have a need of you.' 

'Aha,' I thought 'That's going to be interesting...'
