She opened the door and left the cabin quickly. Henry followed her. They entered into the kitchen and saw the waiters and cooks prepare the breakfast for the next day. "Better to do these things in the evenings or at night", Charlie once told Henry. "You want to sleep a few hours, right?" It looked as though nobody had told them about what would happen yet. Julie tried to get to the oven at the opposite side of the kitchen. She had to avoid three waiters with piles of plates. Henry was behind her, trying not to loose her in that chaos. Finally they reached Charlie who was preparing small bread rolls for the first class passengers. "Charlie?", Julie asked. "Can we talk to you for a minute? Somewhere where it's quiet?" The man's eyes looked at the unfinished bread rolls, then into Julie's suppliant eyes. "Okay. But only one minute, I have to bake these and I have to make some cakes, too. For the breakfast, you know?", he said while he went to a quiet corner of the dining hall with the two friends. "But Charlie!", Julie said loudly. "I was in the captain's bureau. I know Titanic will sink; and so do the captain, Mr Ismay, Mr Andrews and some officiers." She wanted to go on, but the cook interrupted her. "What do you mean by 'Titanic' will sink?! She's unsinkable, isn't she?" "No, she isn't", Henry suddenly said. "I know she's made of iron. And iron can sink. If there's too much water in the compartments..." Charlie nodded. "I know, I know. But what to do know?" "I don't know", Julie said slowly. "First, we should tell as many people as possible about what happened. We'll try to explain that Titanic is indeed unsinkable, okay?" "Alright. I will tell the other cooks and the waiters and so on, and you, Julie, go to Mr Andrews - he seems to be the most reasonable man aboard at the moment. Ask him whether you should go and wake up the passengers. That's important because you might get into trouble without asking first. And if you don't ask... maybe nothing will happen then. Henry, you can wake up the other crew members. Some can help, and others can just try to get a seat in one of he lifeboats. Come on. And take care of yourselves." He hugged them, then he went away quickly, back into the kitchen.
Please tell me if anything sounds strannge to you, ok? Thanks
