In the story · Photo-shoot montage: Anna Karenina at the station

Dick tells Jo 'You're Anna Karenina' and she poses, wreathed in steam, beside the Flèche d'Or boat train on the platforms. The great iron-and-glass train shed of Hittorff's station is still one of the busiest in Europe, and the platform ends still have that Belle Époque light.
