Can't remember title of short story

[bill08]

There are passengers on a train, and a palm reader. Perhaps the narrator is the palm reader. As the palm reader studies the markings on the hands of the passengers it becomes apparent that they will all die at the same time. I think the story ends with the train crash. Creepy!

The closest I can come to this is Freddie Francis' 1965 film, "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors." The eponymous Dr Schreck (Terror in German) played by Peter Cushing, reads the Tarot cards, for, among others, Roy Castle and Christopher Lee. They are all in a railway compartment. When the train pulls into the station They discover they're all dead. The screenplay was by Milton Subotsky. This film is something of a Hammer Classic.

Thanks! Just remembered the short story:
A.V. Laider by Max Beerbohm

I really enjoyed Zuleika Dobson by Max Beerbohm. I will try to find A. V. Laider.
