They couldn’t believe their luck. Who could imagine a half board holiday at a farmhouse in the west of Ireland for such a low price? Better still, the advertisement said the deal included free transfers from the station, and “dedicated transport for sightseeing and excursions” for the length of the vacation. This more than compensated for the flights and train.
With a sense of excitement and expectation, they were met by Mr. Leary at the station. He took their bags, and led them from the platform. As they exited the station they were shocked as they met the sixteen year year-old mare, Lady, harnessed to the tourists’ trap.

A trap indeed… Who would have thought that dedicated free transport for sight seeing would be a lovely horse and ‘carriage’ ride???
Nice post Padre.

A deal that definitely was not worth passing up. It may take you backwards in time in some aspects, but will be worth the trip. Your story was quite delightful, wonderfully written with a classic punch.
