" Nitkin brought the horses round at a few minutes before ten and I went out to have a word with him and to explain that Simon was not an experienced rider. ‘That’s all right,’ said Nitkin. ‘I’ll look after Mr. Simon. Don’t you worry, madam.’ I was not really worrying; I trusted Nitkin. As a matter of fact he was the only person at Limbourne that I trusted. "
