“You’re just bored, Sarah,” Eleanor said. “Go help Bill Chumley with his exotics or Rick with the cats and dogs. Come on, Jack. Ah, the odor of sheep-dip on the balmy October air—my favorite perfume.”
They drove out before Sarah could change her mind.
“Jack, I have a very strange and terribly personal question to ask you,” Eleanor said after a few minutes on the road. “Tell me to stuff it if you like. I won’t take offense.”
“Takes a lot to offend me, Eleanor. Go ahead and ask.”
“Did you ever know anybody in prison?”
Jack sat up. “This side of the pond or the other?”
“Either.”
“Couple of what I believe are called ‘domestic disputes,’ a couple of public drunkenness cases among my friends when I was riding. Jockeys can come all over bad-tempered when they’ve had a drop too much or too many losses in a row. Small men, you know.”
“Not some overnight thing in the county jail. Real prison. For a long stretch.”
“Oh. Then, no.”
“Darn. I was hoping you could give me some advice. I don’t seem to be handling my new job very well.”
