a. the marco polo man! the milkman! the postman! the muffin man! the marco polo man! some frustrated poet, earning his crust by quoting scraps of verse to bring the call of the east to dreaming telephone girls .
madame d dies and leaves a priceless stolen renaissance painting (
boy with apple
) to fiennes, and that' s when the real fun starts. her family accuses the concierge of murder; he is imprisoned and then escapes, which leads to chases and such. fiennes never loses his smirking bravado as he barks orders to the youthful zero, something of the hero of the piece as he slowly sheds his shyness and assumes control of the situation while wooing the town' s teen - age baker. the real friendship between the concierge and the boy is the crux of the movie. my huffington readers may recall my recent rave review of fiennes as the dynamic charles dickens in the invisible woman. here, he even exceeds that .

frey was too glad to get the desire of his heart to delay about giving up the horse and the sword, and skirner was soon mounted and riding like the wind on his dreary journey. night came on, the black shadows of the mountains lay across the fjords as he passed, and one by one the endless procession of the stars moved along the summits of the hills as if they would bear him company. all night the hard hoofs rang on the stony way, scattering showers of sparks at every step. faster and faster the daring rider drove the faithful horse until [ 60 ] his flight was like the flash and roar of the thunderbolt .

it begins, of course, with our quintessential texas downtown historic district. there are wonderful buildings from the 1880s and 1890s. then, within 10 minutes you can get to beautiful countryside locations, ranches and farms, oil drilling sites and the guadalupe river. whatever you need to film you can do it here .
fox searchlight may have its work cut out for it to reach the sophisticated audience which will truly relish this filmic extravaganza, but coming off the success of their 12 years a slave, i am confident they can pull it off. i can only urge my huffington readers to rush pell - mell to a nearby theatre to have a truly wonderful cinematic experience .
z. thanks very much. shall i put the rest of the order into it ?
a. you need not point the information at me. i am not the criminal .
z. oh, well, perhaps you wouldnt think it very wonderful. but it was a regular treat for me. you may think because i am well dressed and travelling de lucks and all that, that i am an educated lady. but i' m not .
a. within the last fortnight you have inspected the priceless antiquities of naples, athens, egypt, and the holy land. please occupy your mind with them until the soup comes .
z. oh, what a thing to say! i never could bring myself to believe that. i know, of course, that men have their weaknesses and their tempers; but all the same there is something wonderful you can get from a man that you never could get from a woman. dont you think so ?
a. i feel perfectly well, thank you. and i loathe deck games, especially deck quoits. the slapping of those silly things on the deck destroys the quiet of the ship .
a. operators dont dream. girls! girls of the golden west. did that poor devil never bring you the call of the east ?
z. no; but i used to sing a song called the honeysuckle and the bee .
i have an old friend who grew up in the years before world war ii living in the grand hotels of europe, where his father was a film salesman. he regaled me with tales of his adventures in these fashionable hostelries, with unlimited room service, obliging concierges and lots of raffish characters hanging around the lobbies. i was reminded of this when i watched the wonderful new film by director wes anderson, grand budapest hotel, which opened in los angeles this week. i have been a fan of this director for several years, so i was at the landmark theatre on the first night and intend to see the film again when it plays at the academy theatre .
the days that followed were long enough for frey; but even the longest day comes to an end, and at last the ninth day came. never sun shone so brightly or south wind blew so musically as on the morning when at bar - isle, under the branches of the great trees, frey found the beautiful gerd waiting for his coming, far lovelier than when she stood before her father' s door. and the whole earth was happy in them, for while they stood with clasped hands the skies grew soft, the trees put on [ 68 ] a tender green, the flowers blossomed along the mountain side, the ripening grain swayed in the fields, and summer lay warm and fragrant over the land .
a. if a woman snaps me up she must take the consequences. she must assist in the shop. and you will get the sack .

the ministry is holding a sales mission event in hyderabad and new delhi, with special focus on promoting “wonderful indonesia” among the indian travel and trade community. in 2016, the indonesian tourism ministry is targeting 350, 000 indian tourists, an increase from last year’s 262, 000 visitors. this seems achievable with the recent regulation allowing indian tourists the facility of visa - free entry in indonesia for 30 days. it is also with this agenda in mind that a special delegation will be part of the annual travel and trade exhibition, satte, being held on january 29 - 30 in new delhi this year .
z. i' d read about it in novels and seen it on the films. they were all about moony drunkards and sheeks and the sort of girls that go dotty about them. i went right round the world to see the reality. pretty places, of course; but the heat! and the mosquitoes! and the smells! ! travelling just destroyed the world for me as i imagined it. give me this village all the time .

as a film producer, i have always been intrigued by the 44 - year - old texan' s systematic way of working, storyboarding the whole film through animatics, gathering the cast in one location to have culinary feasts and keeping the camaraderie going. i have read that he shot the film over 10 weeks in berlin and the small town of gorlitz, germany, on the polish border, and he hired a cook to prepare feasts for the cast and crew assembled in one hotel there. they used an abandoned department store as the interior set for the film .

a. now that you mention it i believe that is true. you were one of the amenities of the estate .
at last the long journey was over and the gloomy house reached. it was the home of the frost - giant gymer, and the beautiful maiden who stood at the door when frey was on odin' s throne was gerd, the giant' s daughter. fierce dogs were chained about the gate and rushed savagely upon skirner, barking furiously as if they would tear him limb from limb. so he turned aside and rode up to a shepherd sitting on a mound near by .
z. the americans dont know the difference: they think my telephone talk is aristocratic; and the english wont speak to anyone anyhow. and lots of them are just like me .

a. take care. you may find what you are trying to do easier than you think. about five per cent of the human race consists of positive masterful acquisitive people like you, obsessed with some passion which they must gratify at all hazards. the rest let them have their own way because they have neither the strength nor the courage to resist, or because the things the masterful ones want seem trifling beside the starry heavens and the destiny of man. i am not one of the masterful ones. i am not worth marrying. any woman could marry me if she took trouble enough .

z. i used to read travels and guide books. we used to stock the marco polo series. i was mad about travelling. i had daydreams about the glory that was greece, the grandeur that was rome, and all that flapdoodle .
skirner needed no second invitation, and, quickly springing to the ground, walked through the stony halls and stood before the beautiful gerd. she looked keenly at him for a moment and knew from his brightness and beauty that he was from asgard .
z. not they. i won the first prize in a newspaper competition. my mother wanted me to save it: she said it would help me to get a thrifty husband. my father told me to blue it all in a lump while i had the chance .
you will be poor all your life ,
he said ;
but now you have the chance of living at the rate of five thousand a year for four months. dont miss it ,
he said :
see what it' s like. have your fling
he said ;
for they never can take that away from you once youve had it .
his idea was a walking tour, spending the nights in the best hotels; but i chose the ship because it' s more dressy and more people to look at. besides, i can get all the walking i want round the deck. at the end of the cruise back i go to the village shop without a penny .
life in cuero is the way life ought to be ,

tap here to turn on desktop notifications to get the news sent straight to you .
a. oh, no harm. quite the contrary. but i feel rushed .
a. [ resolutely ] good morning. [ he makes for the door ] .
z. [ following him with the string bag ] you are forgetting your things .
a. no, to the credit of village shopkeeping as a way of life .
a. [ gravely ] as a matter of fact, she did. i am one of those unlucky men who draw the black chances in the lottery of marriage .
the sun shines every day, but not for me ,
answered frey .
z. it is while the novelty lasts. you see, when youre at home you get tired of doing the same thing every day: the same places! the same faces! the same old round. when you get a holiday you go off in a crowded hot excursion train to the seaside and make yourself tired and miserable just because it' s a change; and youd do anything for a change. but here it' s change all the time until you begin to realize what it is to have a settled home and belong somewhere. i shant be sorry to get home to the shop and the telephone. i get such a dreadful lost dog feeling sometimes. other times it seems such a foolish waste of money. and i hate wasting money .
future learning and skills – giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .
a. certainly not. i should have the trouble of opening and shutting it, and the worry of wondering whether it would open or shut, with no compensatory advantage whatever .
z. but if the money goes as fast as it comes you cant save anything .
a. you are inexperienced. you dont know. you are the dupe of thoughtless words like sensuality, sensuousness, and all the rest of the twaddle of the materialists. i am not a materialist: i am a poet; and i know that to be in your arms will not gratify my senses at all. as a matter of mere physical sensation you will find the bodily contacts to which you are looking forward neither convenient nor decorous .
z. a guide, you mean. theyd take the poetry out of anything; and all the time youre thinking what you ought to give them. if you fancy empires' dusts and all that sort of thing you should meet our vicar and start him talking about our standing stones, and the barrows on the downs, and the mound. every grain of our dust, he says, is full of history. same everywhere, i expect .
z. no. all the money i ever had i blued on a trip round the world. but mrs ward is getting too old for the business: she couldnt run it now without me. if you could afford to buy her an annuity she' d sell it .
a. the clocks were put on half an hour last night. we are going east .
a. i am not here to be made out. you are not here to make people out, but to revel in the enjoyments you have paid for. deck tennis, deck quoits, shuffleboard, golf, squash rackets, the swimming pool, the gymnasium all invite you .
a. when the book is published you can read it to your heart' s content .
z. same with the women, isnt it? if you were a woman youd know .
a. i want him to remove my chair to the very furthest extremity of this ship .
z. i cant believe that about the learning. but see how your manners have improved !
z. well, there you are, you see! the moment i set eyes on you i said to myself ,
now thats the sort of man that would suit me as a husband .
i' d have said it even if you hadnt been the marco polo man .
z. well, no matter where you are you are doing the same thing all day and every day, arnt you? the only way to get it off your mind is to live in the same place and stick at the same job. then you never have to think about it. thats the way the people live here; and they live for ever so long: eighty' s no age here. grandfather will be a hundred and two in august. thats because he' s never had to worry about what he' ll do or where he' ll go. he just imagines and imagines. it' s the only way to be happy and longlived .
according to a recent survey by a travel portal, indians are expected to spend more on travel in 2016. this upswing is triggered by the trend that more and more indians are now looking at international trips over a domestic destination, shows the yatra. com survey. this is probably why the ministry of tourism of indonesia is taking steps to aggressively promote their country in the indian market .
z. well, i am past the age at which girls marry here, though i' m the pick of this village. thats because i thought all my offers over. so i have made up my mind to take the next man that asks me, provided he' s reasonably suitable .
z. not me, thank you. all i want is a husband and the usual consequences .

as ever with shaw, arguments on the politics of marriage can be propounded at bludgeoning length and gaynor’s character rarely gets to be anything other than irascible, but the production keeps buoyant with wit and sensitivity .

z. i always think it adds to the interest of a voyage having to put on your watch .
a. [ presenting a treasury note ] cease preaching. take it; and give me the change .
a. yes you do. our best seller here is old moore' s almanack; and next to it comes napoleon' s book of fate. old mrs ward would never have sold the shop to me if she had not become persuaded that the day of judgment is fixed for the seventh of august next .
returning to the themes of pygmalion, shaw again satirises the flimsy constructs of class divisions, where grimes, a village shop assistant and telephone operator, uses her mannered voice to move undetected among upper - class passengers .
a. thats strange. as she was never out and he was never in, the household should have been a quiet one; but that remark of his about men and women driving oneanother mad rather suggests the opposite .
we are certified as a film - friendly community through the texas film commission ,
she said .
we have ordinances in place to make it very clear as to what our expectations are and what the city will help with. we also have many people within the city who have been trained to be film - ready .
z. oh, that wouldnt suit you at all. she' d want to spend it going into society and travelling about. how could you bear that sort of life? you that never spoke to anyone on the ship and wouldnt take any part in their games and dances! when it got about that you were the marco polo man - - the man of all our dreams as you might say - - i made a bet that i' d get you to talk to me; and i had all the trouble in the world to win it .

z. let me see. eighteenpence, and fourpence for the ginger beer is one and tenpence, isnt it ?
a. well, am i not making a living? i am no poorer than when i bought the shop .
a. you must always let yourself think about everything. and you must think about everything as it is, not as it is talked about. your secondhand gabble about gratifying my senses is only your virgin innocence. we shall get quite away from the world of sense. we shall light up for oneanother a lamp in the holy of holies in the temple of life; and the lamp will make its veil transparent. aimless lumps of stone blundering through space will become stars singing in their spheres. our dull purposeless village existence will become one irresistible purpose and nothing else. an extraordinary delight and an intense love will seize us. it will last hardly longer than the lightning flash which turns the black night into infinite radiance. it will be dark again before you can clear the light out of your eyes; but you will have seen; and for ever after you will think about what you have seen and not gabble catchwords invented by the wasted virgins that walk in darkness. it is to give ourselves this magic moment that we feel that we must and shall hold oneanother in our arms; and when the moment comes, the world of the senses will vanish; and for us there will be nothing ridiculous, nothing uncomfortable, nothing unclean, nothing but pure paradise .
z. [ sympathetically ] it is annoying to have somebody talking to you all the time when you dont want to. but it' s just as bad when you want to talk, and the other person wont, isnt it ?
hbo? has revealed season 2 of praised porn industry drama series? the deuce? will premiere september 9 ...
z. oh, i see. that is why you select this end of the deck. i often wondered why .
z. oh, thats the first time youve asked me a question. we' re getting on, arnt we ?
a. never mind: i know you didnt mean it. by the way, i made an inconsiderate remark which hurt you. i did not intend that. i should have told you seriously that i pay you ten pounds more than the market rate because i value your services in the shop, and wish to offer you every inducement to stay here permanently .
skirner' s face suddenly changed. he drew out a magic wand, and with eyes fixed upon her and in a solemn voice, as he waved it over her, he chanted an awful mystic curse. there was breathless silence in the room while skirner with slow movements of the wand wove about gerd dread enchantments and breathed over her the direful incantation: —
z. oh, you neednt do that. the accountant' s clerk from salisbury does all that when he makes out the income tax return. youre not expected to do figures in this village. fancy old mrs ward doing such a thing !

working alone on the deck of a pleasure ship, a crotchety travel writer, known in the text as a, is approached by an effusive and attractive young woman known as z, whose attentions, of course, he finds a complete nuisance .

a. crusoe drew up a balance sheet of the advantages and disadvantages of being cast away on a desert island. i am cast away in a village on the wiltshire downs. i am drawing up a similar balance sheet. i propose to read it to you as far as i have got. [ he takes one of the customer' s chairs ] you can remind me of anything i have forgotten .
a. [ rising wrathfully ] the most offensive liberty one human being can possibly take with another. what business is it of yours ?
z. [ eagerly ] oh, i am so glad you know margate. theres no place like it in the season, is there ?
z. [ coming out and taking one down ] this is the cheapest. or would you like a better quality with a zip fastening ?
z. thats too clever for me. anyhow, you neednt worry over a balance sheet. the accountant will do all that for you .
z. [ rising ] very well: you can keep your balance sheet to yourself. i will go on with the telephone call book .
a. i shall expect more than you have ever dreamt of giving, in spite of the boundless audacity of women. what great men would ever have been married if the female nobodies who snapped them up had known the enormity of their own presumption? i believe they all thought they were going to refine, to educate, to make real gentlemen of their husbands. what do you intend to make of me, i wonder ?

skirner was soon mounted and riding homeward as fast as his horse could carry him. he was so happy in the thought of frey' s happiness that the distance seemed short, and as he drew near he saw frey standing before his father' s halls, looking anxiously for his coming .
one day is long; long, indeed, are two. how shall i wait for three ?
was all the thanks skirner got .
[ 59 ]
if that is all, it is easily managed ,
said skirner when he had heard the story .

z. well, i suppose i shouldnt call it that; but it ended in my going to rome and athens. they were all right; but the old parts were half knocked down; and i couldnt see any glory or grandeur different to cheltenham. i was glad to be home again. and i had so wanted to meet the marco polo man and walk about with him in the ruins by moonlight and hear him go on about them !
we have caterers for canteen services and ample hotel space ,
she said .

a. there are three or four hundred persons on this ship. cannot you find one of them with the same insatiable thirst for conversation as yourself ?
“it is your privilege as a woman to have the last word, ” says peter gaynor, who does a nice line in clenched exasperation, “please take it. ” rebecca grimes, charming and evenly - judged as the insouciant pursuer of a frigid male, persists though. and director michael james ford’s deftly handled production recognises a deeper probing in its comedy through which the peculiarities of marriage, class and society may be indexed in these exchanges, from a to z .

when skirner pressed her to go back with him, she promised to meet frey nine days hence and become his bride in the groves of bar - isle .
z. oh, how do i know? they dont know, themselves. but the lot of money they spend on things they dont want merely to come in and have a look at me and a word with me, you wouldnt believe. it' s worth at least twenty pounds a year to the business .
a. i am not everyman. everyman thinks that every woman that steps into a railway carriage may be the right woman. but she is always a disappointment .
z. cheese threepence: two and a penny; butter sixpence: two and sevenpence; apples we sell by the pound. hadnt you better have a pound ?
a. i loathe saving. it turns human nature sour .
cast your bread upon the waters; and it will return to you after many days .
a. well, if you come to that, what becomes of me? you can get another job. i very greatly doubt whether anyone would give me one. [ calming down ] can you not be content with the fact that the shop is making enough to support two people? [ he resumes his seat ] .
a. [ alarmed ] no i dont think. may i explain? i am a man of letters and a gentleman. i am accustomed to associate with ladies. that means that i am accustomed to speak under certain well understood reserves which act as a necessary protection to both parties. you are not a lady: you are a villager; but somebody has educated you - - probably the church or the local authority - - to a point at which you can impose on unobservant and unwary travellers. you have had finishing lessons on the telephone which give you a distinguished articulation: you can say th - reee fiv - v - v - v - e ni - n - n - n instead of theree fauv nawn. but you have not acquired any of the reserves. you say what you think. you announce all the plans that well - bred women conceal. you play with your cards on the table instead of keeping them where a lady should keep them: up your sleeve .

a. i dont know. ha ha! the postman' s daughter hath ripe red lips: butter and eggs and a pound of cheese! ha ha ha !
a. you have hit on an extraordinary coincidence. i wonder whether you will believe me when i tell you that in january last i was sitting on the deck of a ship named the empress of patagonia, and that i was talking to a female - - or rather she was talking to me. how that woman did talk !
a. no: i never notice things like that. i am not a detective. it is people' s characters that impress me; i cant tell you the color of her hair or the shape of her nose; but i can tell you that she was a most fearful nuisance. how much does all that come to ?
z. oh, speak english: youre not on the telephone now. what i mean is that if it doesnt matter to me it doesnt matter to you either .
a. i have learnt not to expect too much from life. that is the secret of real cheerfulness, because i am always getting agreeable surprises instead of desolating disappointments .
