Fig and the Flute Player

Page 25

by Christine Harrison


  There is never any whistle before a Russian train leaves the platform. It just starts up all of a sudden. With a jolt it started to move out of the station.

  The woman and the little girl waved to someone on the platform. And Maisie closed her book.

  The woman with the little girl asked if they could have the window shut.

  ‘Yes, of course,’ said Maisie. She got up and shut it.
