Three highly honored and famous men. mostly with scientific minds, found themselves by the bookstall in front of Paddington Station in the wintertime, and soon discovered that they were all set for the same destination.  It was a long, difficult trip by train, then twenty more miles by motor car to arrive at their destination in Cornwall.  One thought he would die of bronchitis on the way, another smoked cigars non-stop, and the third just scowled and complained.It was the dead of winter and everything was covered with snow, and it was extremely cold.  Everything was going all right until they transferred to the automobile and they took quite a spill as the car lunged and wound up in a snow bank with a broken axle.  The place where they were supposed to be was several miles ahead, and it was too cold and snowy to walk that far.  However, about a half-mile back the other way there was a little cottage that they decided to walk to to get some help.  The three honored men found themselves trudging through the snow to find the cabin, and they had no way of knowing that what would happen there would change their lives.This story was written by William John Locke who lived from 1863 to 1930.  It is a dark story in its beginning and middle, but the end brightens it up for everyone.  It's a very nice Christmas story with a touch of mystery to it, but with a very pleasing outcome. I think it makes for very nice holiday reading.
