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

[04:34.81]"Could you give me a light,please?"
[04:38.47]The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern 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.

[08:09.82]Although party invitations no longer frightened me.
[08:15.07]I still found myself making careful preparations for this particular party.
[08:22.02]I got a hair-cut,laid out my best suit,selected a special shirt and tie.
[08:28.87]I had recently gone on a diet,
[08:32.42]but because I didn't want to look too things I discontinued it.
[08:37.49]What should I bring to my hosts.

[08:48.20]It was scheduled for this Saturday and I decided to take a taxi to the suburb
[08:54.05]where it was being help.
[08:57.39]It was early autumn and the weather had been mild.
[09:02.04]but that morning it turned cold and rainy.

[09:53.24]A loose tooth which had not bothered me suddenly sent a terrible pain through my job.
[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.
[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.
[10:27.62]but what it was I could not recollect.
[10:31.98]However,that really upset me was that I couldn't go to the party.
