...directs us over to Gardiner for a beer before heading back to Tower. The saloon's a wooden affair with a long, running mirror behind the bar, a couple of pool tables, and two poker tables in the rear. The dance hall is locked. Only a dozen people are in the joint.

These days Sellers can most regularly be found on television, pitching for a major airline from behind a variety of disguises, so it is good...
...miniature golf course. The jumps ranged from the traditional rail sense and stone wall to the dragon's mustache. Mark Phillips came to an unhappy end when his gelding three refused to clear the obstacle appropriately named the coffin. I stationed myself next to jump number 20, the swimming pool, and waited for the merry-go-round of horses...
