Except that Jazz was invited by the Greycoats teacher to join a competition swimming team. Ad Jazz was very pleased about that because he really liked swimming. And Biddy offered Nails a job riding her horses, a room to sleep in, and a home for Firelight and her foal. Nails didn't say much but he smiled. And Nutty knew that she had been a good captain. Perhaps one day she would be the captain if an Olympic riding team. And Hoomey-well, Hoomey knew what he wanted in life now. Who said he had no ambition? The dreamy look was back in his eyes. He could be a famous rider, flying over the jumps on his horse like a bird of freedom . . .
Perhaps tomorrow everything would seem different. But today . . . today was all right.
