And she arrives from the train, from the boat station, and Eva is sitting at home and thinks, I need to go to the train station.

Arrives at the train station to see Constance getting off the train with her dog, Poppet.

And when she was young, she did the kind of continental tour with her father.

And that first gives her that kind of interest in what's abroad.

and visiting museums and galleries.
