Hops and his affinity Plana, both first appearing as babes, enjoy lucky escapes, but little Epi, their companion, is seized by some young Hes and Shes and dies in captivity, piteously.

In a parking space nearby a sergeant of artillery elegantly picked his teeth while black-eyed Indian children gazed, owl solemn, at the battery of cannon under his charge. Inside the stadium 50,000 people bought hot frijoles (baked beans roasted in corn husks) and cold beer from shrill peddlers, gazed impatiently at the platform garlanded with red and white carnations, green palm leaves, where sat the entire Mexican Congress, frock...
