"If that train hadn't started moving, I don't know what I would have done". I shake my head, "You feel so..impotent!"
"I khow exactly what you mean", says the man intensely. "They don't realize that some of us.." He gestures toward me. "We aren't just idly travelling. It matters whether we arrive or not".
"Absolutely!" I say. "Where are you off to?"
"My wife's in labor", he says. "Our fourth".
"Oh", I say, taken aback. "Well..Gosh. Congratulations. I hope you-"
"She took an hour and a half last time", says the man, rubbing his damp forehead. "And I've been on this tube for forty minutes already. Still. At least we're moving now".
