"Dennis has already gone to find the car and we propose to start immediately this race is over." Miranda ascended the grass slope and saw the fillies canter down towards the starting post.

From the chatter about her she gathered that the odds on Callow Girl had shortened.

It was understood that a sum of money had been laid on her at the last moment.

She was favourite before the flag was dropped and won by half a length.

Miranda ran joyously down the slope.
"What did I tell you, Harold?
Aren't I wonderful?
And have you found Colonel Luttrell?
You know Millie told us to look out for him ?" she cried all in a breath.
Luttrell had written to Lady Splay to say that he would try to motor to Gatwick in time for the last races; and that he would look out for Jupp and Dennis Brown, whom he had already met earlier in the week at a dinner party given by Martin Hillyard.
"There's no sign of him," Harold Jupp answered.
There were two more races, but the party from Rackham Park did not wait for them.
