Pleasure for Pleasure
“Sylvie de la Broderie found that races, racehorses, and racetracks were productive of two things only: boredom and dust. She didn’t like either. Dust she could tolerate under the right circumstances, although she couldn’t bring those circumstances to mind at the moment. A picnic, perhaps. She wasn’t very interested in the out-of-doors, but picnics could be quite agreeable. And to tell the truth, she’d had something of a picnic in mind when she agreed to allow Mayne to accompany her to the races....
But Epsom Downs racetrack was a great distance from a charming linen tablecloth spread under a gracious willow tree, perhaps next to the Seine…Sylvie stifled a sigh. It was cruel to think that such a beautiful life as she anticipated in Paris had been interrupted. Frenchmen were so much more understanding of one’s inclinations than were Englishmen. The English had no imagination. If he had had even a scrap of imagination, her fiancé must have known instantly that the racetrack was no place for her.MoreLess
