00:00Gordon was feeling stuffed up.

00:22It's the coal, Gordon, explained his fireman.

00:25It's clogging up your tubes, something awful, but we'll have to make do with it, for there's nothing else.

00:31Why not have a good sneeze, Gordon, suggested Henry, thinking of the time when he'd punish some boys for dropping stones on him.

00:38That will clear your tubes.

00:40Certainly not, replied Gordon with dignity.

00:43The frat controller wouldn't approve.

00:45He didn't like your sneeze, I seem to remember.

00:49Next day, Gordon was nervous as he backed onto the express.

00:53At least I shan't slip today, he thought, but I suppose they'll laugh at me again if I don't keep time.

01:00He needn't have worried.

01:02By the time he reached the junction, he was running nicely, and as he approached Edward's station, Gordon's fireman began to make up the fire.

01:09Let's get a good run at the hill while you've got steam to do it, he said.

01:14I don't trust this low-grade coal.

01:17At the station, a party of wedding guests, all in their best clothes, was standing on the platform.

01:25As Gordon swooshed through, running hard for the hill, smoke from the newly made fire streamed from his funnel.

01:31He disappeared into the distance and left a black smoke screen settling over the station.

01:37It covered everything, wedding guests and all, in a coat of soot and smuts.

01:43Waves to Gordon became shaking fists, and the wedding party hurried angrily to the station master's office.

01:50At the end of the line, an inspector came to see Gordon.

01:54His message from the fat controller was short, but not sweet.

01:59It's not fair, Gordon complained to Boko.

02:03How could I help that smoke? It's not my fault the coal's dirty.

02:08Never mind, said Boko encouragingly.

02:10Where would I be if I got upset every time someone called me smelly?

02:14Anyhow, soot's good for the garden, my driver says.

02:18But not for new clothes.

02:20muttered Gordon.

02:22Gordon was extra careful on the way home, but it wasn't his lucky day.

02:28The fat controller had broken a journey to the other railway to apologise to the people at Edward's station.

02:34He had done his best and was waiting for another train when Gordon came by.

02:39As the express thundered through, a cloud sunk in front of him and landed on the fat controller's new top hat.

02:46When Gordon reached the big station, there was another message waiting for him.

02:53The fat controller says, announced the inspector, that Gordon blew ashes on his top hat as he passed Edward's station.

03:01Gordon was horrified.

03:03Gordon was horrified.

03:04Whee!

03:05Whee!

03:06He exclaimed indignantly.

03:07He exclaimed indignantly.

03:08I did not.

03:09I was being extra careful.

03:11I'm sure the fat controller can't be right but in Gordon's fireman.

03:16I can't help it, said the inspector.

03:18That's what he says, so there it is.

03:20He will speak to Gordon when he gets home.

03:24Gordon went sadly back to the shed.

03:28ingen't found a credit band.

03:29By the time to find a clear spirit that will only be drunk, let's go out nat for the great reason.

03:32He lost nothing.

03:33Did he not perform.

03:36Do they not perform good to?

03:38Who wouldn't be aектор man.

03:42You're tired.

03:43I beat Jugend God.
