"Yes, a whole fortnight," she cried and laughed, and just for a second turned her head away, since just for a second the tears glistened in her eyes. The car turned and twisted through the puzzle of the Petworth streets and mounted on to the Midhurst road. The three indefatigable race-goers found Lady Splay sitting with Martin Hillyard in the hall of Rackham Park.
"Luckily for me." "Why luckily?" asked Harold Jupp in surprise. "Because I backed the winner," replied Luttrell. The indefatigable race-goers gathered about him a little closer; and Joan Whitworth rose noiselessly from her chair. "Which horse won?" asked Harold Jupp. "Loman!" Harold Jupp stared at Dennis Brown. Incredulity held them as in bonds. "But he couldn't win!" they both cried in a breath.
The theatre was crowded to its capacity, and in every part were people who were habitual race-goers, as well as many racing men who had come to town for the Suburban. By these, as well as by many others who for three days had seen innumerable pictures of him, Carter was instantly recognized.
She was glad to get away from the cataract of voices that smothered her like great falling waters. There was little exultation. If it had been any solace to her, she had much companionship in her dashed hopes; for Diablo, the winner, had not been backed by the general public; the favorite, White Moth, had been beaten. After the first outburst a sullen anger took possession of the race-goers.
The crowd of hungry-eyed race-goers waiting below the box, and watching Carter's every movement, distressed Dolly. "I hate it!" she cried. "They look at you like a lot of starved dogs begging for a bone. Let's go home; we don't want to make any more money, and we may lose what we have. And I want it all to advertise the book."
Cries of "Shame" broke indignantly from the race-goers, and Joan received them with imperturbable indifference. Harry Luttrell, however, went on his knees and discovering the book beneath a distant sofa, carefully dusted it. "Did you ever read 'How they Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix'?" he asked. The audience in the gallery waited in dead silence for Joan Whitworth's answer.
