The race did not shake her confidence in the horse so much as in the possibility of getting any jockey to ride him in a quiescent manner. When it was impossible of Redpath, who was eager to please her, whom else could they look to? They might experiment, but while they were experimenting Lauzanne would be driven back into his old bad habits.
"Very well, my good fellow, then you shall come, and we'll find you a berth in the servants'-hall," said Redpath, laughing. "But what about Stumps?" said Robin; "he will wonder what has come over us. Could we not return to the hotel first?" "Impossible," said the electrician; "I have not time to wait. My leave has expired. Besides, you can write him a note."
It might be possible to acquire a reputation in other professions by good fortune or favor. As a jockey, a light weight might possibly make money by dishonest methods, though that itself seemed doubtful, but there was no way to rise to the top of the tree except by riding winners; verily there was one royal road to fame in the field. Knowing all this, Redpath rode to win.
Altogether it was as though Destiny had found pleasant domicile in the ancient clothing of Old Bill, and was using their unique wearer as a protective agent to ward off evil from both Mortimer and the girl. As they jogged toward the starting post Allis allowed Lauzanne to lag; she wished to avoid Redpath.
"She was all out, Mike, beat; what was the use of driving her to death when she hadn't the ghost of a chance?" "You're a little too hard on Redpath," remonstrated Allis; "he's just been telling me that he didn't wish to punish the mare unnecessarily." "His business was to win if he could, Miss," answered Mike, not at all won over. "It was a big stake, an' he ought to've put up a big finish.
"The difference between a a an' a u ain't much, but the results is powerful sometimes." While Slagg was led away to the region of the bungalow appropriated to the domestics, his friends were introduced to pretty little Mrs Redpath, and immediately found themselves thoroughly at home under the powerful influence of Indian hospitality.
"Well, I've not got exactly that," replied Redpath, with an amused look; "but I've got something of the same sort for my servants. Why do you ask?" "Because, sir, I never did sail under false colours, and I ain't agoin' to begin now.
Henry Wilson had recently visited Kansas from Massachusetts, and he had earnestly entreated the Free State men to vote. Phillips, Conway and Redpath still protested against it. Gov. Robinson, however, gave his voice in favor of voting. An election had already been-held June 15th to elect delegates to the Lecompton Constitutional Convention, at which the Free State men had taken no part.
Crane tells me that Redpath didn't ride Lucretia out in the Handicap, and whether he rides the mare or Lauzanne it seems all one we'll get beat anyway." "Another boy will have the mount on Lauzanne," Allis answered. "What difference will that make? You can't trust him." "You can trust this boy, father, as you might your own son, Alan." "I don't know about that.
Allis closed the discussion by saying that she was going home to encourage her father a little over the mare's defeat in the Handicap, and made Dixon promise not to engage Redpath for Lauzanne till her return next morning. "He can't take another mount," she said, "because he's retained for Lucretia, and we haven't declared her out yet." "I'm hopin' we may not have to," remarked Dixon.
