Christmas railway caper ends in family reunion
In a Cambridge to London train, four travelers tease a surly, smoking-averse old gentleman. After delays and a planned prank, a station master helps start the line. A staged escape leads to a skating party, romance with Miss Minnie Grumblethrop, and a reveal that the old gentleman’s daughter, Minnie, helps restore friendships. The narrator disguises himself, is discovered, and later reconciles with the host family at breakfast.
