　　A famous actor often had to travel by train. Of course, a lot of his fellow-passengers used to recognize him on his journeys, and some of them tried to get into conversation with him, but he was usually feeling tired after acting until late the night before, so he did not encourage them to talk to him.

　　One day he had just got into the train with all his luggage when a young man came and sat down in the seat opposite him. The young man took out a book and began to read it, while the actor tried to get some sleep in his corner of the carriage.

　　When he opened his eyes, he found that the young man was looking at him with his mouth open, his book forgotten. The actor shut his eyes and tried to sleep again, but every time he opened them, the young man was looking at him with the same fixed look. At last he gave up the attempt to sleep, took out a newspaper, put it up in front of him and began to read.

　　After a few moments the young man cleared his throat and spoke. “I beg your pardon, sir,” he said, “but haven't I seen you somewhere before?”

　　The actor did not answer. He did not even put his newspaper down.

　　The young man said nothing more for several minutes, but then he tried again. “I beg your pardon, sir,” he said, “but are you going to San Francisco?”

　　The actor put his paper down this time, looked at the young man severely without saying a word, and then put the paper up in front of him again.

　　This time there was an even longer pause before the young man spoke again. Then he said in a last attempt to start a conversation with the great man, “I am George P. Anderson of Wilmington, Vermont.”

　　This time the actor put his paper down and spoke. “So am I,” he said.

　　That was the end of the conversation.
