...championship cockfight some young bloods showed up to serenade the Señoritas Velandia. Flushed with tender sentiment and wine, they arrived at Casimiro's home with a band. Father Velandia beamed. But it went on & on, without regard for the fighting cocks roosting in a nearby tree. Casimiro grew nervous, then irritated, then thoroughly alarmed over the disturbed rest of his birds.
