A great concourse of young men and women in vehicles and on horseback, and in expectation of great fun, were wending their way to Yabtree nearly every trap containing a fiddle, concertina, flute, or accordion in readiness for the fray. Same Yarn continued Every station hand from Five-Bob, male and female, had gone to the ball at Yabtree.
The holding of these races was an elderly institution, and was followed at night by a servants' ball given by one of the squatters. Last year it had been Beecham's ball, the year before Bossier's, and this year it was to take place in the woolshed of James Grant of Yabtree. Our two girls, the gardener, and Joe Slocombe the groom, were to be present, as also were all the other employees about.
"By Jove, I'm in for it!" ejaculated my escort. "The boss doesn't get that expression on his face for nothing. You take my tip for it, he felt inclined to seize me by the scruff of the neck and kick me from here to Yabtree." "Go on!" "It's a fact. He did not believe in me not going to do his bidding immediately. He has a roaring derry on disobedience.
Auntie, uncle, Frank Hawden and I, are going to ride to Yabtree church next Sunday. It is four miles beyond Five-Bob Downs, so that is sixteen miles. It is the nearest church. I expect it will be rare fun. There will be such a crowd coming home, and that always makes the horses delightfully frisky. It is all men, men, men.
