"The 1:00 Race of Shire will begin shortly." One of the announcers in the booth said.
"Why is it called the Race of Shire Ciel?"
"Because Mon Rose, Will D. Shire is holding this little event. For leisure and business."
"Mon?" I asked, not sure what language that was.
"Its French for "my", in an endearing way." He said, trying to hold back a smile.
"Will our horse be competing?"
"Of course. It will give you some exposure to such events also, so I thought I might injure two birds with one stone." Ciel said.
"Isn't the saying, 'kill two birds with one stone'?"
"You can't kill birds Rose" He then sharply turned to me, "I can show you how it works. Give me your hand". I quickly dropped it into his right hand, and he uses his left to demonstrate.
"Try and put your two fingers down. Go ahead; try" he said pointing to my index and middle. I had to bring the ring finger down with it, thought I strained not to.
"See, you can't kill two birds with one stone." He explained.
"That's where you're wrong Ciel because I've personally- Oh, look, Socks is coming on!" I intently watched the horse. "Will one of those trainers be competing with Socks?"
"No. Sebastian will" he says, looking off into the distance.
"Oh I see." I scooted my hand on top of Ciel's. "I have something very important to ask you." He turned to me and stared, his hand starting to shake lightly.
"What is it." He asked softly. He then took held my hands in his.
"When will we eat?"
"Oh for heavens sake Rose!" He quickly threw our hands up, and then crossed his while looking at me.
"No, really Ciel, I'm quite 'famished'." I emphasized famished in his tone of voice.
"After the race. Sebastian can make this quick." He explained. "Oh look there he goes now." I turned to see Sebastian and the horse on the race track. He was in navy blue pants, and gray suit, and stark boots. Socks had a blue ribbon tied to its saddle. All of a sudden, the trainers got on their horses and went to the starting line.
"Let the Race of Shire begin!" The announcer yelled shooting a gun off into the distance. The horses took off.
"Let's sit somewhere, I'm a bit tired." I said. I picked a shaded spot and sat down, Ciel choosing the seat to my left. Sebastian quickly circled the track, 20 laps. The announcer shot into the air again. Sebastian had won with the rest of the riders still on their 10th or 11th lap. Sebastian always surprises me.
"Well that was good, now let's collect our earnings. Do go say goodbye to the others for me." Ciel said as he swiftly walked back into the first building. Of course I didn't have time to object. I thanked everyone for the race and said goodbye, then ran to the stables to see the horse. Sebastian had just put it back in its stable.
"So where does the horse go now?" I inquired while petting it.
"Well it goes back to the farm. But I'm sure you'll see it soon." Sebastian reassured.

We walked back to the carriage, Sebastian having a moment with a stray cat we found. As we stepped into the carriage, Ciel started to have some kind of sneezing fit.
