  ‘He will be when he finishes wrestling with a personal problem.’

  ‘Personal problem?’

  ‘Mr Tallis thinks that Derby Day is an abomination. But Victor was right next to him when the race was run and the superintendent cheered as loud as anyone. He’s lapsed into a period of repentance now,’ said Colbeck. ‘He can’t forgive himself for having enjoyed the occasion.’ He slipped an arm around her. ‘I hope that you feel no guilt at having had so much pleasure at Epsom.’

  ‘It was an unforgettable experience, Robert.’

  ‘I was afraid that you might be bored,’ he teased.

  ‘Bored?’ she repeated. ‘How could anyone be bored? The Derby was the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life.’

  ‘Really?’

  ‘I loved every second of it.’

  ‘In that case,’ he said, tightening his hold, ‘you might want to come with me to Epsom again next year.’

  ‘Yes, please,’ said Madeleine, laughing with delight.

  ‘That’s settled, then.’

  ‘Thank you, Robert.’

  He pulled her close. ‘Though I’m sure that we can find some other excitements for you in the interim,’ he said fondly. ‘Twelve whole months of them.’
