...darling kitten with a black nose is rubbing himself on my ankles as I write. I'm lunching in the kitchen of the local cafe. Not much of a kitchen really--it has only a sink, a gas kahve cooker [the so-called Turkish coffee which the Turks generally forego in favor of tea], and an impish and affectionate Turk to go with it, four cracked plaster walls, and a swarm of flies.

Forli-Lady Golconda may not be a particularly fashionable pedigree, but it is certainly one of the finest in the country...
Except for Display and Man O' War, all these horses are no further removed than Whirlaway. To say that Whirlaway is the only notable name in Forego's pedigree is to do grave injustice to Mrs. Gerry's achievement in breeding him. Moreover, having Whirlaway in a pedigree is at best a dubious asset, since he was a failure at stud...
