قسط 35: Candy اور Mr. Brighton Epsom میں گھوڑوں کی دوڑ میں شرکت کرتے ہیں جہاں Terry کے ساتھ ایک شرط لگانے سے نتیجہ متنازعہ ہو جاتا ہے۔

35

On the fifth Sunday of the month, pupils get a day off from campus as long as they are accompanied by an adult. The Cornwell brothers are shocked and angry with great-aunt Elroy when they learn Candy was excluded from the company and will not receive a gift either. Before the room's temperature can reach the point of freezing, Annie and her mother visit the Ardley family. Candy decides to relax on the Other Pony's Hill that renders a great view over London with Klint. But Terry is there too, smoking and being his usual obnoxious self. Candy fumes at Terry's jokes and claims the hill as her territory. Mr. Brighton, Annie's adoptive father, surprises Candy and invites her for a day into town. Understanding why she cannot join Annie's company, Candy wishes to visit a place where she can shout and hurl. Mr. Brighton takes her to the horse races at Epsom and they learn that Pony Flash, one of Tom's horses, rides the next race. When they go check out the horse at the stables, they meet Terry who goads her into a bet. If Pony Flash finishes as one of the first three he will never call her "Little Freckles" any more, but if she loses she will have to serve him. Pony Flash photo-finishes in fourth place. Candy admits her loss, but Terry declares that it looked like third place to him from where he sat. At the end of the day, Mr. Brighton asks Candy to watch over Annie. (Source: Wikipedia)
