弗朗西斯·鲍德温

白天头等车厢的一名乘客。 玛琳的未婚夫，一位初出茅庐的年轻画家。最近，他的画作终于得到了世人的认可，并开始畅销。他是玛琳酒吧的常客，酒吧里展示着他的各种画作。他是个柔弱的男子，外貌和性格与玛琳已故的丈夫完全不同，如果打扮成女人的话，看起来会像个美少女。 他从不失态，对待地位不如自己的人也以礼相待。有时会让别人感到无奈，弗朗西斯·鲍德温(Francis Baldwin)并没有享受让人感到威胁的习惯，但这已经是他所能做的一切了。 自从瓦尔还活着的时候，他就一直是玛琳和安妮的密友，但从那时起，弗朗西斯坦诚的态度就完全没有改变过。往好了说，他尊重玛琳；往坏了说，即使在他们的订婚和结婚已经敲定之后，他依然像个陌生人。在决定婚前旅行之后，玛琳突然宣布瓦尔回到了她身边，这让他感到困惑。弗朗西斯完全不知道她发生了什么事。 当她试图让他清醒过来时，他该如何应对这个突然开始大笑（因为瓦尔的笑话）、发怒（当瓦尔责备她再婚时）和哭泣（当她与瓦尔一起回忆往事时）的未婚妻？ 弗朗西斯逐渐被玛琳弄得不知所措，她愉快地谈论着只有她和瓦尔知道的事情（当然，因为幽灵瓦尔说话了），包括弗朗西斯得到世人认可的那幅画是受到瓦尔的音乐启发这一事实……

A passenger in the first class noontime car. Marine's fiancé, a young man who is a fledgling painter. Recently, his paintings have finally been recognized by the world and are starting to sell. He is a regular customer at Marine's bar, where his various paintings are displayed. He is a weak man, and has a completely different appearance and personality from that of Marine's late husband, and if he were dressed up as a woman, he would look like a beautiful girl. He never loses her moderation and treats even his inferiors with politeness and courtesy. Sometimes to the dismay of others, Francis is not in the habit of enjoying making people feel threatened, but that is all he can do. He has been a close friend of Marine and Anne since Val was still alive, but since that time, Francis' honest attitude has not changed at all. At best, he respects Marine, and at worst, he remains a stranger even after their engagement and marriage have been finalized. After the prenuptial trip was decided, he was puzzled by Marine's sudden announcement that Val had come back to him. Francis has no idea what is happening to her. How is he supposed to handle his fiancée who suddenly starts laughing (at Val's jokes), getting furious (when Val tells her off about her second marriage), and crying (when she reminisces with Val) when she tries to get him to come to his senses? Francis is gradually becoming confused by Marine, who happily talks about things that only she and Val know (because Val, the ghost, talked, of course), including the fact that the painting for which Francis was recognized by the world was inspired by Val's music....
