A complexion of lilies and roses cabbage roses, bien entendu, which were apt to deepen into peonies after champagne and mayonaise at Ascot or Sandown a figure oh well a tremendous figure hair of an auburn that touched perilously on the confines of red large, serviceable feet, and an appetite the appetite of a ploughman's daughter reared upon short commons.
At this delightful village seem assembled all the charms of rural scenery, hill, wood, valley, corn field and water; aided by the wide extended ocean, reaching to the eastern horizon, with the majestic white cliffs of Culver at the extremity of the bay on the left, and the long range of cliffs of every hue and colour gradually declining in height as the eye glances along to the cottages of Sandown, and then again imperceptibly rising to their highest point of elevation.
Each separate beauty of the way was threaded like a bead on a rosary. Here was Sandown Park, which I had regarded as the goal of a respectable drive from town, with horses; but we were taking it, so to speak, in our first stride.
But he had won through these libel cases, and now devoted his vast wealth to improving our breed of horses by racing at Newmarket, Epsom, Doncaster, Gatwick, Sandown and Brighton.
The burly ferryman cared nothing at all about the river, and merely answered "Yes," or "No;" he was full of the Derby and Sandown; didn't know about the fishing; supposed there were fish; didn't see 'em, nor eat 'em; want a punt? No. So he landed me, desolate and hopeless, on the opposite bank, and I began to understand how the souls felt after Charon had got them over.
He looked rather surprised at seeing me, I thought, and at once it flashed across me that of course he was under the impression that I was Sir Aubrey Belston, and probably he had heard that Sir Aubrey was travelling round the world. Gastrell, after a few minutes' conversation, found us places at a table where "Sandown Park" was being played.
"Belward, don't take me for a fool. Why, my trying what you go to do is like is like " Cluny's similes failed to come. "Like a fox and a deer on the same trail?" "I don't understand that. Like a yeomanry steeplechase to Sandown is that it? Belward, I'm sorry. Playing it so low on a chap you like!" "Don't say a word, Cluny; and, believe me, you haven't yet seen all of It. There's plenty of time.
On the coast of England, we saw the North Foreland, the Castle of Sandown, and the town of Deal, stretching out at the foot of the cliffs, which extend for many miles, and are about 150 feet high. Further on, we came in sight of the South Foreland; and lastly, the ancient castle of Dover, that sits right bravely enthroned upon an eminence, and overlooks the surrounding country, far and wide.
"Belward, don't take me for a fool. Why, my trying what you go to do is like is like " Cluny's similes failed to come. "Like a fox and a deer on the same trail?" "I don't understand that.

The next thing to do was to pick the winner of the Yorkshire Handicap. In this he was not successful, but he backed several winners at Sandown Park, and at the close of the week had made nearly enough to take him to Egypt. The Doncaster week, however, proved disastrous. He lost most of his winnings, and had to look forward to retrieving his fortunes at Newmarket.
