I have six daughters and I want - well, not to get them off my hands, but a husband or two wouldn't be amiss among a lot of them.
Then, this rich man, Mr Penricarde moved to the area and fell in love with my Jessie! He proposed to her, and everything went well, and they discussed wedding and honeymoon plans, but we didn't know that Toby sold him our horse, Brogue! Brogue is road-shy, and he swivels every time he sees... well, anything that moves. We tried to get rid of this horse for years, and now we sold it to my daughter fiance, and Toby told him that the horse was just right for the beginners, quiet as a lamb (he didn't know about the proposal then).
What should we do now? Nobody can ride this animal with any safety, only Toby, because he swivels with the horse in time. We can't admit that we palmed him off with a useless horse, he can break up with Jessie, and we can't allow him to ride it!
