‘Thanks, mother, but I’m afraid it’s no use. You see, I can’t play with it unless I have some new points for shunting, right-hand curve, and if I haven’t got my savings bank book and the railway catalogue I can’t get them. That’s all. It’s just all no good.’
‘As a matter of fact, you’ll find the catalogue in the railway box, and I have very kindly brought your bank book with me.’
