...Garden, there was a fanfare of trumpets, a thunder of drums, a skirl of bagpipes. And out trooped two bands of white-helmeted Royal Marines followed by the kilted pipers and bearskin-topped drummers of the Scots Guards and the Royal Scots Greys. Later in the evening, in sandals, scarlet tunics and saw-toothed white skirts (called sulus) came the 57-man band of Her Majesty's Fiji Military Forces.

A spunky, mop-topped Andalusian peasant, he flees the arduous life on his father's farm, drifts into that gypsy band of hot-eyed hopefuls who haunt every Spanish bull ring, courting fame with a scarlet muleta. Before a bull's horns end his short unhappy career, he attains wealth, loneliness, a retinue of greedy hangers-on, a house for his mother, a fast convertible and faster women-one a sleek, actressy adventuress named Linda, who takes her matadors at their peak, and is played...
