"Don't forget to purchase your very own plague victim miniature or add to your Four Horsemen collection. Thank you for travelling with Tempus Stabit and do remember our motto 'Time waits for no man, but it damn well will for us.' Isn't that right ladies?"

The tour guide checked her watch. 

"One more, before the end."
