Mountain Magic
“They had driven down the mountain to pick up the train, and she had been impressed by the opulence of his long, cream car.Like Mrs. Van Ecker, he travelled first-class when making Continental railway journeys. They had lunch in the restaurant-car, and although she had been unable to eat any breakfast Toni found that she consumed an excellent lunch. Perhaps a glass of wine with the meal helped her a little, and the fact that her new employer was not disposed to be talkative helped her still more....He had provided her with some magazines before they boarded the train, and she read these steadily throughout the journey. She was quite certain that she knew all the advertisements, and the articles on feminine problems, off by heart by the time they reached Innsbruck, in addition to having read most of the literature.Innsbruck is an extremely attractive, old-world town—quite unlike the much more commercialised Swiss towns she had got to know—but it was dark when they arrived, so she was unable to form any opinion of it on first making its acquaintance.MoreLess
