Alan smiled as he said:
"He is a bachelor, the head of a great banking firm, I wonder he does not marry."
"He has a wide choice, many lovely women would be glad of a chance to accept him."
Alan wondered if the Baron had given a thought to Evelyn Berkeley; it was highly probable.
"The all-scarlet jacket has won many big races but not a Derby; perhaps it's his turn this year," said Alan.
"I hope so, I have backed Merry Monarch," she said.
"I called to give you some information about my horses. I am likely to win three races, so my trainer says, and he is not an over-confident man."
"Lucky fellow, three races in Derby week; your colors will be worth following."
"On the opening day Robin Hood should win the Epsom Plate," said Alan.
"That will be a good beginning. We shall all have our pockets filled for Derby Day," laughed Evelyn.
