Nails looked angry. 'I was sleeping in theshed in Firelight's field last night, and the policecame and got me. They asked me where I lived and I wouldn't tell them, so they locked up in the police station all night. I had to argue my way out this morning. Biddy came to fetch me, because I told the police she was my mother Biddy was a bit angry about that Nutty wondered what would happen to Nails after today. sleeping out in fields, no real home to go to, nothing to look forward to. But there was no time to worry about that now. There was still the running and the riding to do. Greycoats went first in the running, and Nutty watched them angrily. "We're well behind after that cheating,' she said. And just look at them now!' Greycoats were running well. We've just got to keep going," Nutty said And they did. But it nearly killed Nutty. Hoomey, running in front of her grew smaller and smaller, and Nutty realized that she was probably the worst ofthem all. But she finished fell to the ground and lay there with her eyes closed. When she opened them again, Biddy was there. At last! Nutty was free! Biddy would tell them all what to do now. You've all got to ride like crazy if you're going to beat those Greycoat boys, Biddy said. By now the parents had all arrived and were enjoying their day out. Uncle Bean had brought the horses, and Hoomey was looking at Bones with dreamy eyes. He was in another world again. Nails and Jazz looked worried.
