Thomas was at a horse race, laughing with his brothers as they spoke about everyday things before the race started. He could already see the horses in their stables, ready to run and gain their glory. Some of them were restless, while others were calm. He and the others were already deciding on which horse to bet on and made fun of each other. It would take a while for the race to start, but the money was already out and ready to be given and exchanged.
