Molly Corbold looked at Jim Dennis, and her scrutiny was satisfactory.
'Will you introduce me?' she said.
'With pleasure. I am sure you will like him.'
Jim Dennis, having put Grey Bird to rights, left him in charge of the attendant to walk him about.
'Allow me to introduce Miss Corbold,' said Adye Dauntsey.
Jim Dennis, raised his hat, and, as he shook her hand, he thought,—
'What a good-looking woman.'
'I have heard so much about you from my cousin,' she said, 'that I was anxious to meet you. What a splendid horse Grey Bird is!'
'I am glad you like him,' said Jim, well pleased. 'I think he will run a good race. My son rides him. Here he is,' and he introduced Willie.
Molly Corbold liked the son at first sight as well as she had done the father, and she expressed the hope that he would win the race.
