An Indiscreet Journey
An Indiscreet Journey is a 1920 short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in the ''Athenaeum'' on 1 October 1920, and later reprinted in ''Bliss and Other Stories''.〔Katherine Mansfield, ''Selected Stories'', Oxford World's Classics, explanatory notes〕
==Plot summary==
An English Woman is traveling to the French front line during the First World War to see her French lover who is the 'Little Corporal'. She is masquerading as an English woman going to see her Uncle and Aunt (two paid actors). She encounters two old women on her train journeys, the first is kind, but the second (nicknamed seagull because of an incongruous fake seagull perched upon her hat) is cunning and perceptive, asking pointed questions, knowing her real purpose in France. The narrator and her lover spend much time in an inn where soldiers drink mirabelle and contemplate their lives and futures.
There are few intimate moments shown between the narrator and the little corporal, but one can discern that he is her lover from small details such as him putting his hand over hers, and catching her passport when they are shut alone in a room. The two take rather inconspicuous roles in the latter stages of the story, and the two most prominent roles are the blue-eyed soldier and 'Blackbeard' (a nickname given for similar reasons as 'seagull').
