Leigh Green and Langdon.
- I must go. Good-bye.
- Yes, you must.
Good-bye.
I felt the touch of his hand
on my shoulder for a moment,
and then he walked away...
away,
out of my life forever.
He's got to get
right over to the other platform.
Talking of missing trains reminds me of
that awful bridge at Broadham Junction.
Dolly still went on talking,
but I wasn't listening to her.
- I was listening for the sound
of his train starting.
Then it did.
I said to myself,
"He didn't go.
"At the last minute his courage
failed him. He couldn't have gone.
Any minute he'll come back into
the refreshment room pretending
he's forgotten something. "
I prayed for him to do that,
just so that I could
see him again for an instant.
But the minutes went by.
Is that the train? Oh, can you tell me,
is that the Ketchworth train?
- No, it's the express.
- The boat train.
That doesn't stop,
does it?
- I want some chocolate, please.
- Milk or plain?
I meant to do it, Fred.
I really meant to do it.
I stood there trembling
right on the edge,
but I couldn't.
I wasn't brave enough.
I'd like to say it was the thought of
you and the children that prevented me,
but it wasn't.
I had no thoughts at all,
only an overwhelming desire
not to feel anything ever again,
not to be unhappy anymore.
I turned...
and went back
into the refreshment room.
That's when I nearly fainted.
Laura.
Yes, dear?
Whatever your dream was,
it wasn't a very happy one, was it?
No.
Is there anything
I can do to help?
Yes, Fred.
You always help.
You've been
a long way away.
Yes.
Thank you for coming
back to me.
