"I should like to see it very much."
"Then I'll take you there," he said, and turning to Eve asked:
"Are you going to the paddock?"
"It's hardly worth while. We'll go to-morrow and see the Derby horses," she said.
"Miss Hallam wishes to see it. I'll just take her and bring her back safely; we shan't be long. Come along," he said to Ella.
"You don't mind?" said Ella to Eve as they passed.
"Not at all; why should I?" was the sharp reply, and from her tone Ella gathered she did mind, and felt mischievous.
"I'll take good care of her," said Alan.
"No doubt," said Eve quietly.
"What a trouble it is to get there!" said Ella as Alan led her through the crowd.
