The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat. The Browns soon find that Paddington is a very unusual bear. Ordinary things - like having a bath, travelling underground or going to the seaside become quite extraordinary, if a bear called Paddington is involved.

Hurrying forward, he held out a welcoming hand. ?Sir Percival Rushmoor,? he said. ?I?m invigilating.??I?m sorry to hear that, Sir Percival,? said Paddington. ?I hope you feel better very soon.? Paddington always finds himself in unusual situations so it is no surprise when he has a run-in with the police, appears in a TV cookery show, and gives one of his hard stares to a hypnotist!.
