Broken seals

A train whistle blew and steam puffed out the top of the smokestack as it paused in the station while passengers unloaded. A pair of snakeskin shoes stepped onto the unloading platform. A Gentleman with a thin moustache, well-manicured fingernails and a pinky ring extended his red umbrella. He whistled to the baggage boy and was quickly handed a small suitcase in the same shade as his umbrella. The train whistle blew, and the train departed from the station. From overhead the rain came down. And in a sea of black umbrellas, it was Hugh Balcrees red umbrella that could not be ignored!
