Candelas and Alicia were coming back in a landau from the race-track. / The afternoon had been unseasonably chilly, but the sun had shone / brightly, and the races had been exciting. Alicia smiled, contented. She / had won eight hundred pesetas, and her eyes still beheld the jockeys / speeding with dizzy swiftness against the background of the April / landscape.
There suddenly, in the last half of the race, a horse had leaped ahead / from that party-colored group of red, blue and yellow blouses and of / white trousers. A horse had sped away to cross the tape; and she had / found herself a winner.
