Flash mob on a train.
Recounted in Aleph, Paulo Coelho tells of being on the Eurostar train to London. Strange he thinks, I have never seen a flower seller on this train before when he spots a man witha dozen red roses. The man then asks for volunteers. Paulo Coelho volunteers but he is not chosen, but he hangs around to see what happens.
On arrival the man asks each volunteer to hand a red rose to a girl he points out. He then asks her to marry him.
Paulo Coelho arranges something similar at the end of a journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway but that would be telling.
