... was it a vision or was it real? it was an honesty shop lest out on the path under a tree.

Bute was beaut!
... was almost identical to the one we’d had on the Night Riviera. Pictures of the lounge car show a carriage with lounges (surprise!) around it but it was a first class buffet car the same as on NR as well. Beer and cider were bargain priced as was wine.
