He thought he had a right to expect some of his three sons to follow in his own mincing footsteps. But Miguel was born lame, so his only future was the Church. Juan, his father's favorite, was a physical coward. Pepe, the eldest, became a matador, but he lacked his father's touch. Pepe liked the life, however, learned all the dissolute extracurricular tricks. When his father arranged a marriage between...
