NUMBERS RUNNING IN SOUTHAMPTON, 1922
And to bring today's posts all back around to Lord Peter Wimsey, here's a scene from "The Unpleasantness At The Bellona Club" in which Robert Fentiman confronted a man he believed to be a "Mr. Oliver". It took place in 1922 on the train platform at Southhampton. The number "23" one of "The Numbers" from 'Lost', was being used to indicate that the two train tracks were #2 and #3.
Its use in this case is reminiscent of the aisle numbers seen in an episode from 'Lost' from last season: BCnU!
