-
But what happened, exactly?
-
Well, there was this terrible noise.
-
A sort of rattle, rattle, bang, bang.
-
And then the engine just seemed to lose its power.
-
- We'll get Tom to take a look at it. - Oh, how kind.
-
But I think my chauffeur, Weaver, seems to have it in hand.
-
Could I just use your telephone
-
and tell my hosts I won't be able to get to them tonight?
-
But what will you do?
-
Oh, we passed a public house in the village,
-
and I asked Weaver to see if they had any rooms.
-
You can't possibly stay at the pub.
