>It was {a} cold and rainy Friday. Beth was sitting on the train and
>trying not {to} fall asleep. She didn't want to miss {the} station {at} Torquay,
>but she was tired. She opened a book and started to read. "Maybe it
>will help me to stay {awake,}" she whispered to herself. {Suddenly,} Beth felt
>that she {was losing awareness}. She tried to fight {her feeling of} tiredness, but {the clattering of the train} was making it impossible. Her head drooped.
>Beth woke up with {a} terrible headache. It was dark and she couldn't see
>anything. She started to {grope} for her bag. It was lying on the
>ground. She {took} out a flashlight and turned it on.
>{The} compartment looked {horrifying in the torch light}. She looked around {and} noticed {that}
>her favourite book {had} disappeared. ??She started to scrabbling around??. She
>didn't know why, but she was looking for it {as if her life was at stake}. Beth was feeling confused. {And} then
>something grasped her leg. At this moment she noticed that her book {was}
>lying under her seat. She {grabbed} it and whispered, "I{'ve} found it".
>??Something released her.??
>Beth woke up in her compartment, lying on the ground. She sighed with
>relief and smiled. "It was only a dream", {she thought}. She {took a quick look} at {the} book. It was
>titled "Murder on the Orient Express".
