***

Across the Maestranza, in the Sol, almost all eyes – and a lot of chunky cameras – are on the picadores. Working in pairs, they prance the ring on their blindfolded and seriously well-padded horses, goading the bull with their lances. One pair of eyes, however, is firmly closed and pressed painfully tight into the shoulder of a young and totally absorbed red-headed man.

Will tries gently to turn his young wife’s head back, so that she can see what she is desperately trying to miss. He can’t understand for a moment how she wouldn’t be enjoying this, her national sport. Especially when he has had to pay so much for the seats. They’re in the glorious Andalusian sunshine, for pity’s sake, best seats in the house, watching angry bulls being goaded and tormented. Even allowing for massive sunburn and definite heatstroke; how much better can life get?

“Hey, Señora, meet me half way,” he says affectionately. “At least open your eyes.”
