The bravest show their courage by going forth to meet the procession. A cloud of dust on the highway announces its approach. And finally forms emerge from it. At the head a picador on horseback with a lance, behind him the black bodies of the bulls surrounded by tame steers, and followed by a second picador. As they rush through the narrow streets to the market-square a mighty cry goes up: "Los toros! Los toros!" Shouting, whistling, howling, yelling, and a general pandemonium rends the welkin.... Finally the bulls are secured, and it is only in the afternoon that the longed-for hour arrives. The forenoon has its own pleasures. Young men demonstrate their daring by teasing a young bull specially selected for the purpose, and earn acclamation or mocking laughter as the case may be. These young heroes try to . Put into practice what they have seen at the Torero; only it is less dangerous. No blood is shed, only torn trousers and bruises are the honorofic mementoes of the great day (174, 175).
