"We're not talking of marriage," said Boyd, as he rose. When he had gone out, Fraser ruminated aloud: "Maybe not! I ain't very bright, and we may have been talking about the weather.
"Dennis has already gone to find the car and we propose to start immediately this race is over." Miranda ascended the grass slope and saw the fillies canter down towards the starting post. From the chatter about her she gathered that the odds on Callow Girl had shortened. It was understood that a sum of money had been laid on her at the last moment.
Starlight let himself be talked to, and didn't say much himself; but I could see even he, that had seen a lot of high life in his time, was pleased enough with the nonsense of a couple of good-looking girls like these regular bush-bred fillies as they were after being shut up in the Hollow for a month or two.
