Courtly Prelude. With General Calles at Torreon in the north, rebel commanders made a flank attack around the western wing of the federals and struck at Mazatlan, the chief Pacific port of Mexico, northwest of the capital.

The Prince lives in York House, which is really one wing of the intricate collection of buildings that make up St. James's Palace. He had been expected to motor to Buckingham Palace and ride back in the state coach. Instead, he merely clapped on his head an enormous, extinguisher-like fur busby of the Welsh Guards, and walked round the corner, unescorted, from York House...
