No mourning for the matador

Barcelona is the colourful background of Jane and Dagobert Brown's Spanish adventure. They attend a bullfight; a matador is killed through an unusual and momentary lack of concentration. He is Denis St. John, El Inglés to the enthusiastic crowd, but to Jane quite unmistakably an Irishman. Dagobert's extraordinary behaviour in a night club solves the mystery of the matador's unlikely death — they had both been given the same cigarettes, which happened to be 'reefers.' Involved in unravelling the mystery, Dagobert encounters the dead matador's prospective father-in-law who does not seem unduly upset. "No mourning, in fact, for the matador," quips Dagobert.
