A slim, feminine figure in a red cossack hat and pale, loose coat, and carrying a yellow hatbox, jumped out of the waiting car and got into Eden's car.

He becomes a fisherman, a night clerk in a hotel, a hired pistolero, and finally returns home to take over Naolinco as its all-powerful cacique, or village chief. He goes from faded canvas pants to the garish socks, yellow shoes, felt hat and necktie that for him are the power symbols of the ruling señores.
