Chapter X
"No more," said Job, "I'll stand or fall by the old colours." The stands were packed, and the people stood on the lawn, and leaned over the railings in dense masses. Mentone was cheered as he galloped to the starting post, and the horse looked a perfect picture. Black Boy moved sluggishly, but Lucky Boy went past at a great pace, pulling his jockey out of the saddle, eager for the race. "Too flash," said Job; "Give me the other fellow, he's steady and sure."
