From the driver and the guards, to the bagmen playing cards Skimbleshanks: You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge of the Sleeping Car Express. Once we made it a certain distance, Asparagus let out a paw signaling us to stop which we did in one fluent motion.Īll: Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, The Cat of the Railway Train! We then all lined up behind Skimble as he skipped around the middle of the yard. Skimbleshanks: They'd be off at last to the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere!
