so many people。〃
〃We don't see many。〃
〃No。 But those Meyers and the man from the bank with his wife and daughters……〃
〃He cashes my sight drafts；〃 I said。
〃Yes but some one else would if he didn't。 Those last four boys were awful。〃
〃We can stay out here and watch the race from the fence。〃
〃That will be lovely。 And； darling； let's back a horse we've never heard of and that Mr。 Meyers won't be backing。〃
〃All right。〃
We backed a horse named Light For Me that finished fourth in a field of five。 We leaned on the fence and watched the horses go by； their hoofs thudding as they went past； and saw the mountains off in the distance and Milan beyond the trees and the fields。
〃I feel so much cleaner；〃 Catherine said。 The horses were ing back； through the gate； wet and sweating； the jockeys quieting them and riding up to dismount under the trees。
〃Wouldn't you like a drink？ We could have one out here and see the horses。〃
〃I'll get them；〃 I said。
〃The boy will bring them；〃 Catherine said。 She put her hand up and the boy came out from the Pagoda bar beside the stables。 We sat down at a round iron table。
〃Don't you like it better when we're alone？〃
〃Yes；〃 I said。
〃I felt very lonely when they were all there。〃
〃It's grand here；〃 I said。
〃Yes。 It's really a pretty course。〃
〃It's nice。〃
〃Don't let me spoil your fun； darling。 I'll go back whenever you want。〃
