over to the premier and Primo de
Rivera, beaming, made another mem

some sign of recognition to that little
post Office in Aviles.
By this time it was the moment for
coffee and cigarettes. The men re-
mained behind, while we others
moved to the drawing rooms for ours.
We found the two princesses there,

The conversation turned to our trip
to Aviles. a city of 1900 in the AS
