[Train stops. Voice outside: Brixton!]

Good-bye, old boy; good luck to you.

[Gets out, shuts door after him and remains a moment leaning on it.]

Duke. Do you like living here?

Tom. Very much. I have a wife and three children—and a cook!

Duke. Wonderful family life!

Tom. Well, you buck up and get a family life, too. You are beginning at the right end, by the cook. Good-bye. Why do you travel second-class?

Duke. Is it second? I meant to come third, like everyone else. I didn't know there were still seconds on this line.

[Whistle sounds].

Tom. Well, I'll leave you to your second-class solitude, unmolested by the millionaire or the pauper. [Goes off]. Ta, ta.
