Chapter XXIV
The Goodwood of that year was a brilliant meeting. The winners were the horses that all the smart people wanted to win. The weather, with the exception of that first rainy twilight, was perfect, and all the smart frocks and hats spread themselves and unfolded their beauty to the sun, like flowers in a garden by the Lake of Como. Among the owners of winning horses Mr. Rutherford was conspicuous. "You rich people are always lucky," said his friends.
