Synopsis
A man and his mistress run into his wife and her fling at the train station.
History
First publication: St James’s Gazette, March 3, 1894
Review
A very short story, sort of reflecting Wells’ ideas about marriage and sex, having had a lot of affairs throughout his life. Everyone makes the best of the awkward situation and agree to make small talk. Not that great of a story.
