Awl Aboard! Orient Eggspress

A porter twinkles and Anaïs and Tiger emerg in the train station. On the
tracks are the royal-blue cars of the Orient Express, the crew busy
polishing brass and shining windows.

A thin, tabby with pince-nex approaches. Bonjoyr! I am Pierre the
head-conductor; welcome to the Orient Express. You must be Mlle. Anaïs and
Tiger! Let me show you to your stateroom!

They walk alongside the train, and Tiger notices porters loading crates of
food into the kitchen cars - some are marked: Lobster, Oysters, Red
Snapper, and too many more to count.

They enter an oak-paneled longue car with various arrangements of
kitty-pillows and low tables, and pass by a wet-bar where another kitty
greets them.

"Here iz yourown stateroom" speaks Pierre as he holds the door open for
them; "Will there be anything else?". "No thank you, Pierre", says Anaïs,
and she climbs into the bow-window with a kitty seat.

Ahh, Tiger, letz relacks heer wile we waits fur owr friendz to arrive, as
she moves over and leaves room for Tiger to snuggle against her.

Dis iz goink to be a wunnerfull 'venture, my luff! smurgle

Tiger and Anaï are snuggled on the window seat on the bow-window in their
stateroom when a knock is heard on the door. A wait-kitty comes in pushing
a silver cart

"Would you please serve us over here?" The wait-kitty then puts down a
white linen table-cloth between them, and on it a platter of smoked salmon,
some small buttered toast squares and a small blue can with Russian writing
and a picture of a fish on it on it - Tiger looks at it quizzically.... The
waiter then brings in a wine-bucket, and shows Anaïs the bottle:
"Tattinger, 1939 as you ordered, Mademoiselle. Shall I open it?"

Anaïs nods, and the wait-kitty pops open the cork with a "pop", and pours
them each a flute. "Will there be anything else, Mademoiselle?" She pauses
- "Yes, please send the same order to a gentlecat named M. Fitz Thomas, who
is in the lounge, please. And put it on my bill, if you would."

She takes the small blue can and opens it - turning to Tiger: "Dis iz
Beluga caviar. Haff you effer hadz it before?"

She picks up a piece of the toast, puts a strip of the salmon on it, then
a generous spoonful of the caviar, then a little squirt of lemon, and feeds
it to Tiger.

She picks up the flute of champagne and smurgles Tiger. "To usses, my dear
boycat. To usses."
