...restoration. Some indication that the Generalissimo, once a stanch Monarchist, was favoring restoration came in the report that the Duke of Maura, now living in Portugal, has been dispatched by General Franco to see former King Alfonso XIII.

...beaten no more. She withdrew from competition, began practicing seven hours a day. Because Norway then had no indoor rinks and the good ice lasted only a few months, Papa Henie dug down into his capacious pantaloons and Sonja followed the ice and the good teachers into Germany, England, Switzerland, Austria.

There followed another year of training, and in 1927 Sonja at last was first...
