"Would you like a ride, young man?" asks the man sitting outside of the carriage.
"Of course," you reply. You get into the carriage, heaving yourself down onto the leather seat.
"Where to?" the driver asks in front.
You place your hand on your small belly and smile and say," I'm feeling slightly peckish, I need a bite to eat."
"Very well sir," says the driver and rustles the reins and the horse begins trotting along," anywhere in particular?"
"Not at all," you answer," but my belly is empty and needs a good meal."
"I know just the place," says the driver.
You sit back and leave the driver to his duties. The journey takes under 5 minutes, but you arrive outside of an inn lit by gas lamps outside. You can hear the murmur of conversations coming from inside the inn.
You step out of the handsome cab and the driver tells you," You won't find a better deal anywhere in town. They'll feed you good and have you coming back for more."
"What do I owe you for the ride?" you ask.
"I'll give you the ride on the house," the driver tells you," just have a good meal."
"I will sir," you nod and turn to see that the restaurant is called 'The Pig Inn" and the sign has a round pig as a logo.
You walk into the inn to see that it's dimly lit with gas lamps. The wooden room has several tables with lots of people eating. You feel a calm come over you and hear a chuckle from across the room from a loud man.
"May I help you?" asks the server walking up to you.
