She didn't quite so much read the book as devour it.
I might be a touch less forgiving if she and I hadn't managed to rip back to
the train and (just barely) manage to pluck her suitcase off.
A near thing though, bro'.
It was quite funny, in retrospect, and I know this sounds like the sort of
thing people make up, but it was *true*!!!!
{Honest}
Half way between platforms, daughter and I looked at each other, both turned
white as death and promptly ripped back to the train.
It was one of those rare father-and-daughter effective combinations -- I
jammed my foot in the door of the to-leave-train to prevent it leaving,
while the Demon Princess worked her way down three carriages trying to find
her suitcase.
(She found it in the third, at about the point British Rail were about to
chop my left leg off at the ankle to free the train.)
But the *really* funny thing, Douglas, was that the entire time, she was
*still* clutching her copy of +Finality+ in her left hand.
She wouldn't let it go ...
... I blame you.
