1) Mr. Jones liked to be comfortable, so when he got into the train, he always used one and the same technique. He used to put his suitcase on the seat beside him and pretend that it belonged to another passenger who had gone to buy something in the station.

2) One day he did the same thing when the train was very crowded. Other passengers came in and sat in all the other seats except the one where his suitcase was lying on.
