One day whilst in the corner shop, Alison’s bike is run over by a blue Rolls Royce, and the driver offers to buy her a new bike. When the new bike arrives, it comes courtesy of a lady called Mrs Considine, who seems overly interested in Alison and asks if she may take her out on a daytrip to make amends for the bike.
Alison’s parents are not overly happy about this, and so Alison sneaks off alone and goes anyway. When Mrs Considine then apologises to Alison’s parents, she somehow manages to twist them round her little finger, and next thing you know, she is taking Alison abroad for a holiday!
As much as this seems like a fairy tale for Alison, something is not 100% right about Mrs Considine.
