A fare was being ratified through a
Dublin suburb on rickety jaunting
car drawn by no less rickety horse.
Having proceeded some distance, the
horse, owing to apparent old age and
sheer exhaustion, fell, never to rise
again. The fare was very profuse in
his sympathies toward the driver, who,
however, appeared to take the whole
thing very coolly and explained:
