When Rose and Tom Allen find Milly, she, with Mrs. Mason, is just coming out of the ladies' room on the grandstand, where Mrs. Mason had taken her when she had so suddenly collapsed after the Cup race was run.
"Do not tell Rose I fainted," she whispers. "Do not let them know; not any of them, especially Rose. She is not like Clarence; she would tell Ma, and they would all wonder what caused me to collapse, and I could not, I dare not, tell them. They would not understand."
