Overview
On a train headed for England a group of travelers is delayed by an avalanche. Holed up in a hotel in a fictional European country, young Iris befriends elderly Miss Froy. When the train resumes, Iris suffers a bout of unconsciousness and wakes to find the old woman has disappeared. The other passengers ominously deny Miss Froy ever existed, so Iris begins to investigate with another traveler and, as the pair sleuth, romantic sparks fly.

00:03:00 - What's all this fuss about, Charters? - Damned if I know.
00:06:29 I realise that. There's no need to rub it in.
00:11:06 Hello, hello, London.
00:14:22 We English are quite honest by nature. You'll excuse me if I run away?
00:18:46 It's coming back to me. I have got an idea.
00:25:07 - Are you hurt? - I don't know. What was it?
00:29:14 Thank you. Please reserve two places for lunch, if you'd care to join me.
00:34:13 Why don't you throw your old socks away? Thanks for the help.
00:36:42 You could've been paying attention. You both went along to tea?
00:39:22 - Hallucination? - Precisely. There is no Miss Froy.
00:42:48 - A little woman in tweeds. - Yes.
00:45:32 - Is this the woman you saw? - It isn't a bit like her, is it?
00:48:32 He did. In fact he never put it down unless it became absolutely necessary.
00:51:19 - Isn't there anything we can do? - Yes, find Miss Froy.
00:55:41 My theory, dear Watson, is that we are in very deep waters indeed.
00:59:28 You've got them.
01:02:55 - You never said the girl was English. - What difference does it make?
01:05:53 We mustn't act suspiciously. Behave as if nothing had happened.
01:10:06 Never mind about that now, if you want to save her you've got to hurry.
01:15:35 I really don't know...
01:18:20 - Would you... - Certainly.
01:21:46 If I'm unlucky and you get through, take back a message...
01:24:32 Let him go if he wants to.
01:29:08 I've got to deliver this theme song to Miss Froy...
