Spoilers: Bures--showing horses, racing . . . Simon tries to cause Brat to have a serious accident (death) by loosening the girth on his horse before a race. . . Eleanor feeling non-sisterly feelings for Brat, says, "You can't be my brother." Simon admits he killed Patrick to Brat, and he tells Brat he will keep trying to kill him. Different sort of mystery, that's for sure. Like it very much. Uncle Charles arrives soon . . . he's been mentioned for the whole book. Something must be important.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
