  Percy : Old iron? Slow?

  Thomas : Why Edward could beat you in a race any day.

  James : Really? I should like to see him do it.

• The Signalman : [after seeing James puffing away all by himself and setting the signals to danger]  All traffic halted!

  Narrator : Then he told the fireman what had happened.
