Alfonso and the King at a Meager Railway Lunch
In a small railway station refreshment room Alfonso and King Alonso share a sparse meal of eggs and sandwiches. A matronly Bearnaise serves the king a costly pate de foie gras which they finish in moments. The king later recalls the encounter with a charming yet surprised barmaid in Dax. A second item notes a Canadian government railroad project to Hudson Bay shortening routes to wheat regions and a discussion on comets by Professor Paul Turner.
