The minute the owner of the racing-stable turns jockey, he ceases to be a business man, and the same is true of the man who keeps a racing-yacht and spends all of his time at the start, and, after all is said and done, it's our business we want to live on. You've selected the workingman as your favorite sport, and that also has its limits.
But all this, inspiring though it was, served but as prelude to a more profoundly coveted acquaintance that with the racing-stable. For it was after this last that Dickie still supremely longed the more so, it is to be feared, because it was, if not explicitly, yet implicitly forbidden. A spirit of defiance had entered into him.

A tear and a kiss! Bah! That is not worth your dowry." "Come, mamma, do let me be happy." "You can be happy without committing follies. You do not need a racing-stable."
As the senator from Fraser had said, there was really nothing worse than Thatcher, with his breweries and racing-stable, his sordidness and vulgarity. Thatcher's efforts to practice Bassett's methods with Bassett's own tools was a subject for laughter. It seemed for the moment that Harwood's decision might be struck on this note of mirth.
