It would delight Lambson-Bowles to see me 'go under'; and as I'm so certain of Black Riot that I've mortgaged every stick and stone I have in the world to back her, I should go under if anything happened to the mare. That would suit Lambson-Bowles down to the ground." "Bad blood between you, then?" "Yes very.
"No, you don't altogether," said Sir Henry quickly. "Lambson-Bowles is a brute and a bounder in many ways, but well, I don't believe he is low-down enough to do this sort of thing and with murder attached to it, too although he did try to bribe poor Tolliver to leave me. Offered my trainer double wages, too, to chuck me and take up his horses." "Oh, he did that, did he? Sure of it, Sir Henry?"

"Is anybody interested in your not putting Black Riot into the field on Derby Day? Anybody with whom you have a personal acquaintance, I mean, for of course I know there are other owners who would be glad enough to see him scratched. But is there anybody who would have a particular interest in your failure?" "Yes one. Major Lambson-Bowles, owner of Minnow.
