    Summary

    Benny Goodman once wrote a song, ‘Where Or When’. It goes as follows;

    “It seems we stood and talked like this, before
    We looked at each other in the same way then, But I can’t remember where, or when
    The cloths you are wearing, are the cloths you wore
    The smile you are smiling, you were smiling then
    But I can’t remember where, Or when
    Some things that happened for the first time
    Seem to be happening again
    And so it seems
    That we’ve met before
    And laughed before
    And loved before
    But who knows
    Where or When”

    And truly, nothing could summarize this story better.

    Summary

    Never in all his days has he thought himself less strong of stomach than the ladies of his court, but never in all his days has he watched a strong, graceful creature be taunted unto its end. The men of Spain who spoke a small amount of his native tongue had tried assuring him that this ‘spectacle’ was indeed a ritual of bull worship, something to celebrate the ferocity of nature and man’s dominion over it. Lando only feels dominion over his nausea as he swallows down something detestable. It is snuffed out with swift intent, however, when he looks up again to see the Matador looking straight at him.

    The Matador is the most exceptional man Lando has seen to date, by a margin larger than one end of his vast country estate to the other. He struts, cocksure and elegant with his fine clothes and finer features, large doe eyes locked on him.
