Entering the Red Lion you notice a distinct absence of Bureau and a noticeable amount of horse racing coverage on the television. This is disappointing.
You approach the barman and ask if he has seen the Bureau at this pub, alas the man in question is distracted and it appears you will have to help the poor fellow out before he can focus on your problem. An inveterate gambler he has ‘borrowed’ the pubs takings to bet on a number of absolutely sure fire winners at Uttoxeter. Alas said nags failed to perform as well as expected, leaving him somewhat inconvenienced. He has enough funds for one large bet and desperately needs a big winner, do you?
