Last week would-be Lawyer Faustino was in jail. Would-be Marchioness Carmen Trigo had a new job scrubbing floors in a Valencia hospital. She had sold all her fine clothes, jewels and furniture to pay her debts, but she still owed thousands of pesetas. Street urchins mocked, "Yah, yah. Marquesita," as she trudged to work each morning.
