Few are enthused about the prospect of getting close to that obscure antique, but perhaps fortune will favour the bold....

Description summary:
The description varies based on 
| Mutton Island Courtship | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 - The Custodial Chef and the Roaming Replete | "Your teeth shall be red and all that you eat shall be raw and ruddy," the horse-head whistles. The Custodial Chef and the Roaming Replete turn to each other and grin. |
| 2 - The Custodial Chef and the Dashing Drownie | The […] Chef keeps his distance […] but his fear is reduced by the difficulty its bearer has in shouting eery whispers to the […] Drownie […] in the water. The effect is entirely spoiled by the Chef having to go back and forth to relay messages between the two […] |
| 3 - The Custodial Chef and the Hooded Lady | The Hooded Woman shouts at the horse-head until it goes away. "I've bestrode worse in my time," she mutters darkly. "I won't be menaced by a donkey what needs a good feed!" The Custodial Chef's expression is awestruck. |
| 4 - The Melancholy Curate and the Roaming Replete | The Roaming Replete is entranced by the Mary Lloyd and entreats the Melancholy Curate to tell her everything he knows about it. They sit [...] discussing their respective theological understandings of the meaning of a horse and its rider. |
| 5 - The Melancholy Curate and the Dashing Drownie | "His flesh you seek but his soul is his to keep," the horse-head whispers to the Curate. The Melancholy Curate turns away angrily and will not look at the Dashing Drownie for the rest of the day. |
| 6 - The Melancholy Curate and the Hooded Lady | The Hooded Woman is outraged by the Mary Lloyd[…] Fortunately, the Melancholy Curate is prepared[…] he's convinced the horse-head's bearer of worse iniquities being committed by some tourists on the other side of the island. |
| 7 - Jervaise and the Roaming Replete | After a few moments contemplation of the Mary Lloyd, Jervaise suggests that the Roaming Replete show him how to cook horse. She is more than happy to comply. Sadly, the Mary Lloyd is swifter than either. |
| 8 - Jervaise and the Dashing Drownie | The […] Drownie fashions a mirror Mary Lloyd out of the waves and shows Jervaise how to ride it, though insists he go and find himself a bathing suit first. Jervaise emerges […] in a fetching set of striped shorts, and the Mary Lloyd is entirely forgotten. |
| 9 - Jervaise and the Hooded Lady | The effect of the Mary Lloyd is rather spoiled when Jervaise sticks out his foot and trips the bearer, bringing the horse-head low enough that the Hooded Woman can neatly bop it on the head with her cane. |

Failure
All the fun of a day with a creeping horse-headed skeleton horror
Despite your entreaties to the mysterious keeper of the Mary Lloyd their enthusiasm for the affair runs away with them. The pair of would-be-companions find themselves chased […] and thoroughly mangled […] It is safe to say that spirits are dampened […]
