The last tent still had a hole in its roof the size of a dinner plate, and when the rain came through Tomas Vell set a bucket under it without looking up from the ledger. Forty-one pounds for diesel. Eleven for the farrier. The piebald mare in the back paddock had been losing condition since March, and nobody in the company wanted to say what that meant.

Her name was Halcyon, though the handbills had called her Lady Sable for twenty years. She knew one thing well, which was to run the figure of eight in the sawdust: a loop to the left, a crossing at the centre where the two circles met, then a loop to the right, round and round until the band stopped playing. Tomas had taught her with a long rein and a single word, run, spoken low. He had never once raised his voice to her.

On the final night the bleachers were half empty and the lamps were dimmed to save the generator. Tomas stepped into the ring with his hat in his hand and said nothing about money. He lifted one hand, said run, and the mare went round. Left loop, crossing, right loop. Each time she passed the centre the crossing seemed to hold a little longer, as if the sawdust had learned the shape too.

Afterwards a girl from the village, who had come for the free ticket, asked whether the horse would be sold. Tomas coiled the rein over his shoulder. 'She knows the shape,' he said. 'That's all I was ever paid for.' He led the mare out past the caravans, and behind them the ring kept the pattern, faint and endless, where nothing had ever quite finished.
