The Arrangement (1997)
“Grove and I rode a little behind the earl’s curricle, with Grove and his placid Domino acting as a barrier between my mare and the middle of the road. In general, Maria behaved very well. She shied once or twice at what she obviously thought was a horse-eating vehicle, but with the curricle in front of her and Domino beside her she managed to feel sufficiently protected from menace and soon quieted down.
It had rained lightly the night before, so the road was neither muddy nor dusty. The traffi...c was light, the April sky was brilliantly blue, and the sun was warm on my head and my back. I rode beside John Grove and watched the back of the earl’s shapely golden head as he patiently answered what appeared to be an endless stream of questions from my ever-curious son.
At Epsom we turned off the highway and began to travel westward along a smaller country road. Epsom, the home of the Derby, is one of England’s most famous racecourses, and race meetings were held there during both the spring and the fall.MoreLess
