A rough recount tells of a morning drive in a car that stalled after a spare tube fix. Whisky briefly revived the engine, then a final tube blew near Quin's. The group walked to Quin's, drank, hired Padly the poet, patched twenty holes, argued about the way home, and returned to Nannine by eight, tired and hungry but amused.
