Disconsolately she turned away. She had missed it by seconds and she hated being late for the office. Then she thought of the letter in her bag. It was from her son, Stephen. She had longed to open it before she left the house, but there was not time. Now she could read it over and over again in that long wait before the next train. Hugging the thought to herself, she went over to the form opposite the barrier. A young girl, already sitting there, made room for her. Diana had a confused impression of gleaming spectacles and a moon-shaped, confused face. ‘'m sorry,’ said the girl. ‘I do seem to take up a lot of room.’ A bulging plastic bag and a cartwheel hat lay between them on the seat. ‘I don’t want to crush your hat,’ said Diana. She opened her bag and took out the letter. ‘Dear Mother,’ she read. ‘I'm sorry to be so long in writing. As you see from the address, | have moved. | am on the fifth floor of this grotty house, but never mind... ‘Til move this out of your way.’ The girl picked up the plastic bag and deposited it on the floor. ‘Don't worry," murmured Diana ‘The landlord has promised to mend the roof. You must come for the weekend when I'm straight. There's a smashing view from here — you would love it.”The girl's voice was soft and insistent. ‘| thought I'd lost my ticket.’ Diana turned the page. ‘I've heard nothing about that job | told you about. How are things with you?” ‘But | found it in the bottom of my handbag. Do you ever do things like that?" Diana looked up. ‘Will you excuse me,’ she said. ‘I'm trying to read.’ The girl had great dark eyes behind the spectacles. She beamed happily at Diana and chatted on. ‘I'm always losing things. When | go anywhere, | keep tight hold of my bag. If | don't, | leave it on the train or the bus.” Diana looked at her watch. There were ten minutes before the train. ‘That's very sensible of you,’ she said, and deliberately turned her shoulder. ‘Have you thought any more about getting a car? | don’t know how you stand that train joumey.’ it was useless to read. The girl was shuffling her feet on the concrete floor. Diana stared down, hypnotized. They were large feet, encased in red sandals. ‘Are you admiring my sandals?’ The girl stuck her legs out stiffly in front of her — strong, sturdy legs, uncompromisingly long. ‘They're very pretty sandals,’ said Diana gravely. ‘My mum bought them for me last week. She said | needed a pair to go away with." She swung her feet up and down, admiring the sandals. Diana watched her. She had dark hair, cut short just below the ears and curving down from a centre parting. Her round face had a strange, two-dimensional effect; Diana suddenly remembered a rag doll she had been given as a child. The Girl in The Mad Hat, Dorothy Goulden
