Jake X (3) Coin-in-the-slot Spaceship Captain

It was late evening when Jake's train arrived at Kings Cross. The train was met by a massive jostling crowd. Jake picked up his rucksack and moved to the carriage door. A railway guard blew his whistle. A double line of police then formed, holding back the crowds, and forming a passage from the carriage door to a small glass door marked 1st Class Waiting Room. “Her Ladyship is waiting for you in there,your Lordship,” said the guard respectfully'knuckling hkis forehead. As Jake appeared at the carriage door, individuals started to shout questions: “Has your Lordship recovered?” “Are you fit for the Royal performance? Any comments on getting the Warmblood Talky? Any truth in the rumour about your financial position? Has your starship returned from Vivendi Three? Is it true that a starship has not reported for weeks? Is that ship lost?”
