They embroidered handkerchiefs, and scarfs, and gloves, with the respective colours of the rivals, and tried to make jockey-caps. Lady St. Julians postponed her intended departure in consequence.

Sidonia, with the other competitors, had ridden over the ground and glanced at the brook with the eye of a workman.
