Con Boland had a bright idea to reconstruct the car that had become too small for the family's needs. The idea came into his head to cut the car body in two and lengthen it by a good two feet. He worked day and night, in a hurry to finish the job. He hoped to give the car a new coat of paint and had no doubts that it would hold the whole family and run well. When it was finished, it was to his own taste and he admired it, proud of his work.
On the way to Vale View, Con decided to pay a surprise visit with the children packed in the car. They were like herrings in a tin, beside themselves with excitement. Despite getting stuck and having trouble with the gearbox, they managed to push the car up the hill and arrived safely.
The Bolands arrived at Vale View with the loud braying of the horn attracting attention. The car made a terrible noise, so they slowed down and pulled up at the gate. They switched off the engine but had trouble with a button getting stuck, making an awful racket. After putting things right and removing a lump of mud, they could finally tear themselves away from the car.
At the tea party, everyone was cheerful and in high spirits, talking about everything but the accident. They enjoyed themselves, getting lots of pleasure out of the tasty treats and black tea. With lightning speed, they cleared every plate and had a good time together.
During the accident, there were doubts about the functioning of the lamps, but there was no time to waste. They used the handle to start the engine, which after a couple of swings suddenly shot outwards and fell to pieces, coming to rest on street level. It was a surprise to everyone and made a very funny picture, clutching onto the car as it fell apart.
After the accident, everyone picked themselves up, rubbing their heads and trying to understand what had happened. They were worried but all right, remaining in their seats, holding the baby in their arms. Despite the engine still running with a few convulsive beats, it was fit for nothing and had to be dragged away. They went home on foot, believing their efforts had not been wasted but pointing to the remains with melancholy pride.
