Nigger’s chances for the Autumn Meeting in a fortnight’s time, and for the Grand National in August—the young horse Marsh had ridden—the Fords—and Stephanie! She was a very fine rider, Ann learnt, and very plucky—it would take a big fence to stop her. Pretty too—and kind. Ann agreed with all Rodney’s praise of the younger girl. But when she said “good night” to him at her own door she did not linger. They parted in a perfectly friendly fashion, and Ann resolved that in the future nothing in her attitude towards the young drover should give him cause to believe that she was more interested in him, even as a friend, than in any other man of her acquaintance.
