and cultured — outing if you happen to be in England on July 9. Board one of two Orient-Express Trains — the British Pullman in London or the Northern Belle in Birmingham, Coventry or Milton Keynes — start the voyage off with a Bellini, and then watch the countryside roll by while having brunch. A few hours later, get off the train in Leeds, and watch an open-air production of “The Winter's Tale” by Shakespeare, as performed by the Old Globe Theater Company on the Pavilion Lawn at Leeds Castle. After that, board the train again, discuss the play with fellow passengers while sipping chilled Champagne, then enjoy a four-course dinner on the return trip. So civilized, so old-school England. Rates start at £345 a person, $684, at $2.02 to the pound. - NYT __
