16.Он нес газету, и, когда мы попали в одно купе, он сидел в одном углу, читал ее, а я читал объявления. 17. На каждой станции он смотрел поверх газеты, не выхожу ли я. 18. Я очень устал от такого преследования, поэтому в конце концов я пошел и сел рядом с этим мужчиной и спросил его, почему он преследует меня. 19. Вначале он сказал, что вообще не преследует меня, но когда я пригрозил, что ударю его, он признался, что следит за мной. 20. Затем он сказал мне, что он - писатель детективов и пытается выяснить, трудно ли преследовать кого-нибудь незамеченным. 21. Я сказал ему, что он не был незаметным, так как я заметил его на Пиккадилли и посоветовал ему сбрить его рыжую бороду, если он не хочет, чтобы его жертва не знала, что за ней следят.
