Hartley got to Central Station nearly an hour before his train was due to leave. A lifetime in the theatre had given him a healthy—indeed excessive (过分的)—sense of punctuality; a lifetime of unwanted cups of coffee, constant checking of the time, yet another turn around the block before that all too often pointless, tiresome audition (试镜).

Hartley was 75—pretty fit for his age, legs holding lip, memory still ticking over nicely——though the occasions for punctuality were now rather fewer. But he was a creature of habit and couldn’t change now.

Hartley was a good actor, although the calls on his talents were now infrequent. But really, he thought he’d had a reasonably good career. Something to be proud of. But he’d never had that break-through part.

He headed for his platform. Just as the train was about to pull out a man ran down the platform, jumped aboard as the door slammed shut and sank into the seat next to Hartley. “Cutting it a bit fine”, he said.

“Indeed”, Hartley replied. “A close run thing”.

The man—forty-ish, amiable looking—gave him an amused glance.

This brief exchange served as an adequate ice-breaker and they chatted their way through the outer suburbs and into the countryside. Having satisfactorily disposed of the sad state of the railways, country versus city living, his neighbour asked Hartley what he did—or had done—for a living.

Hartley hated telling people he was an actor. He was not ashamed of his job. Not in the least, but he had long tired of reactions ranging from “what have I seen you in” to “how do you learn all those lines”.

So in situations like this he simply selected an occupation from a former role. Bit risky, of course. You say you’re a doctor and find yourself meeting the quizzical（疑问的）gaze of a heart surgeon. But he’d never been caught out and it was harmless enough game, Hartley felt. It amused him, and he’d given some damn good performances too. “I’m a lawyer”, he replied. “Retired several years ago. Property law. Bit of criminal stuff”. The train was slowing down. The man glanced out of the window. “My station. I had you quite wrong then”.

He stood and took down his briefcase from the overhead rack.
