Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n
Teddy soon found out that the book contained sonnets and verse by H Belloc a poet he greatly admired<\/p>\n
He scribbled a note to Andrea<\/p>\n
Dearest Andrea<\/i><\/p>\n
Thanks a million for the lovely book I read it last night whilst listening to Richard Clayderman it was so relaxing <\/i><\/p>\n

Richard Clayderman was born in 1953 and todays date is the 3rd<\/sup> of January 1923 it would have been impossible for you to have listened to Richard\u2019s piano music <\/i><\/p>\n Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n Dearest Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n It may seem odd to you but have you ever read Einstein\u2019s paper about relativity?<\/i><\/p>\n No<\/i><\/p>\n In this paper he used the analogy of a train travelling at speed past an embankment to explain himself <\/i><\/p>\n I bathed with Marie Antoinette earlier <\/i><\/p>\n Imagine if you are standing on a railway embankment <\/i><\/p>\n She was wearing a modesty shift as there were men in her room <\/i><\/p>\n You are at the centre-point of a moving train <\/i><\/p>\n The bath water had made her shift transparent and I could see her nipples quite clearly which I found a little ridiculous <\/i><\/p>\n Suppose you witnessed a simultaneous lightning strike and either end of the train <\/i><\/p>\n I wanted to warn her that the very men that were looking at her breasts were plotting against her <\/i><\/p>\n To you it would seem simultaneous <\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0I felt sorry for the poor girl and then I looked at the calendar that was hanging from the wall <\/i><\/p>\n But supposing a nun was a passenger on the train sitting at the same centre-point <\/i><\/p>\n It noted that the date was the 17th<\/sup> of October 1793<\/i><\/p>\n This train passenger sitting at the same centre-point would be hastening towards the front strike and away from the rear one <\/i><\/p>\n The day after her execution <\/i><\/p>\n Supposing this nun as a gift from God possessed the power of registering light speed <\/i><\/p>\n We both rose from the bath at the same time and cut these traitors down <\/i><\/p>\n She if asked would say that the front lightning strike occurred first whereas you would question this assumption<\/i><\/p>\n As we cleaned the blood from our swords the Queen spoke to me in French praising the qualities of time travel <\/i><\/p>\n Both you and the nun witnessed the same event but at different times <\/i><\/p>\n We then returned to our bath<\/i><\/p>\n He was trying to explain that time passes differently depending on where you are and what you are engaged in <\/i><\/p>\n Teddy walked across his room he was still holding his book of poetry<\/p>\n Dearest Andrea \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n I am writing this on my personal computer<\/i><\/p>\n Teddy <\/i><\/p>\n You cannot be using a personal computer as they had not been invented in 1923 <\/i><\/p>\n Dearest Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n I am working on my personal computer however I believe that you are incorrect in your assumption of the date <\/i><\/p>\n It is precisely 10.03.14 on the 03 January 2017 or at least it was when I started writing this sentence <\/i><\/p>\n Time does not stand still <\/i><\/p>\n It is now 10.04.33 on the 03 January 2017 <\/i><\/p>\n Teddy <\/i><\/p>\n I am glad that you liked the book but do you know where Magdeburg is?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes it is in Germany I have visited Magdeburg on several occasions <\/i><\/p>\n Do you know that there were two fatal train crashes there in 1939 and 1967? <\/i><\/p>\n Yes they were awful disasters <\/i><\/p>\n But need they have happened? <\/i><\/p>\n Please explain <\/i><\/p>\n Supposing you were on the footplate of the Berlin express you would have not ignored the signals and crashed into the Cologne train at Genthin station <\/i><\/p>\n Or that you were at the level-crossing at Langenweddingen and had stopped the fuel tanker in time <\/i><\/p>\n Then these disasters would not have occurred <\/i><\/p>\n But then pulses in time might have hindered you <\/i><\/p>\n Perhaps <\/i><\/p>\n I once tried to stop the assassination of the King George the First of Greece in Thessaloniki on the 18th<\/sup> of March 1913 but I failed although I witnessed the fall from a window of his assassin some six weeks later <\/i><\/p>\n Could you have stopped that? <\/i><\/p>\n Yes <\/i><\/p>\n Then why did you not hinder his fall?<\/i><\/p>\n Because he had murdered a good man <\/i><\/p>\n If you had managed to stop the assassination then what would you have done with the anarchist Alexandros Schinas?<\/i><\/p>\n I do not know <\/i><\/p>\n I might have introduced him to the children of Fatima <\/i><\/p>\n That is quite a difficult question Andrea<\/i><\/p>\n The book arrived in the morning post inside was a slip of paper from the sender<\/p>\n Teddy <\/i><\/p>\n If you already have this then I will change it with ease <\/i><\/p>\n Andrea<\/i><\/p>\n Teddy was outside Holland Park Underground Station he had arranged to meet Andrea for coffee in Kensington<\/p>\n He was in the wrong place<\/p>\n Andrea was in Golders Green near the Underground Station<\/p>\n She was waiting for Teddy<\/p>\n They had arranged to meet for coffee in Hammersmith<\/p>\n She was in the wrong place<\/p>\n Dearest Andrea \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n It was so dreadful to have missed you it was my own silly fault I mistakenly added an erroneous note to my diary <\/i><\/p>\n Teddy <\/i><\/p>\n It was all my fault I am just a silly girl who cannot remember times and places were you waiting long I feel so bad as the weather was so awful <\/i><\/p>\n Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n Please do not accept even a moment of blame <\/i><\/p>\n Teddy <\/i><\/p>\n Let us meet for coffee tomorrow in Magdeburg perhaps you or I can avert those dreadful disasters <\/i><\/p>\n Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n When I was young I used to spend a lot of time in my father\u2019s shed when he was at work <\/i><\/p>\n I was attracted by his rulers <\/i><\/p>\n He had many as well as tape measures and other instruments for measuring time <\/i><\/p>\n But he never used them and they were left to rot against a grubby wall <\/i><\/p>\n I would sit on a stool and watch the trains pass through Willesden Junction <\/i><\/p>\n When he died my mother locked the shed so I was no longer able to visit his instruments for measuring time One day a terrific gale hit Willesden do strong that even the trains were cancelled <\/i><\/p>\n One strong gust of wind took the shed with it and it was deposited in pieces on the embankment that led to the freight lines<\/i><\/p>\n I tried to retrieve the rulers and tape measures but my mother would not let me<\/i><\/p>\n They rotted in the grass for many years until I could no longer see them <\/i><\/p>\n Teddy <\/i><\/p>\n That is a sad story <\/i><\/p>\n Would you like another coffee I am told that the latte is excellent here <\/i><\/p>\n Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n I can see the King <\/i><\/p>\n I can see the assassin <\/i><\/p>\n I am on the footplate of the Berlin express the driver is not concentrating he will miss the signals at danger <\/i><\/p>\n I am on the crossing at Langenweddingen the telegraph cables have expanded in the heat and have become caught in the level crossing gate <\/i><\/p>\n The train is getting closer <\/i><\/p>\n The fuel tanker has just passed me <\/i><\/p>\n Close youe eyes Ansrea<\/i><\/p>\n Close your eyes Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n Why were your words not formed correctly?<\/i><\/p>\n It sometimes happens<\/i><\/p>\n A pulse in time <\/i><\/p>\n It has never been explained<\/i><\/p>\n Close your eyes Andrea <\/i><\/p>\n Who is H Belloc?
