Allys gave him a long look. "Then you must take Heathflower," she said. "I have the Wickliffe boy's word for it-he wrote me only yesterday: 'Miss Allys, if you want to get wealthy, bet all your real money on that Heathflower thing.
'"
"H'm! Who is the Wickliffe boy? Tell us that before we play his tip," Adair demanded. Hilary could not speak for laughing.
Allys smiled entrancingly.
"The Wickliffe boy-is a knight-errant born out of time," she said. "I'm wondering if it will last. We came to know him last summer-mother and I-down at Hollymount, my uncle's place in Virginia.
The Wickliffe boy, Billy by name, lives at Lyonesse, which is Hollymount's next neighbor. It belongs to Billy's uncle, the dearest old bachelor-maybe that is the reason the boy has such reverence for womankind. I don't know which he comes nearest worshiping-women or horses.
