"Oh, Bev!" he groaned, "she's gone Clemency's gone, I I can't find her, Bev!" Now hereupon the Marquis very quietly took up his hat and, nodding to Barnabas, linked his arm in Tressider's and went softly from the room, closing the door behind him. "Dick!" cried Barnabas, bending over him, "my dear fellow!" "Ever since you spoke, I I've wanted her, Bev.
"Your arm, Dick, keep your hand up!" "Arm, Bev right as a trivet!" And to prove his words, the Viscount flourished his whip in the air. "Deuce take me! but Jerningham's setting a devilish hot pace," he cried. "Means to weed out the unlikely ones right away. Gad! there's riding for you! Tressider's 'Pilot''s blown already Marquis hasn't turned a hair!"
And now before them is the first jump a hedge with the gleam of water beyond; and the hedge is high, and the water broad. Nearer it looms, and nearer half a mile away! a quarter! less! Tressider's horse rises to it, and is well over, with the Marquis hard on his heels.
Tressider's 'Pilot, Lord Jerningham's 'Clinker, and five or six others. But, as I tell you, 'Clasher' and 'Moonraker' carry the money, though many knowing ones are sweet on the 'Rascal. But, surely, you must have heard of the great steeplechase? Devilish ugly course, they tell me." "The Viscount spoke of it, I remember," said Barnabas, absently. "Viscount, sir not Viscount Devenham?" "Yes."
Now, as he rides with "The Terror" well in hand, Barnahas is aware of a gray head with flaring nostrils, of a neck outstretched, of a powerful shoulder, a heaving flank, and Carnaby goes by. "The Terror" sees this too and, snorting, bores savagely upon the bit but in front of him gallops Tressider's chestnut, and beside him races the Captain's sorrel.
