Candy Dene; Ramon [El Bandido]; Sharpe; General Jalvao
Synopsis
Candy's father had left her a small ranch in the mountains of Santana in South America. Most of the livestock had gone to pay debts, but she still lived there alone until a group of men came riding her way. They request some bran-mash for their horses and water for themselves. But when she recognizes the leader as El Bandido, she is forced to accompany them even though she is in sympathy with their cause. She escapes with the help of her horse, Snowy, but the government soldiers come to her house with an American informant who had been traveling with Ramon's men.
Vivian; Molly; Rose Grange; Roger; Madge Turnbull; Tom
Synopsis
Viv can't go to the dance with Tom because she had promised to go and have tea with old Mrs. Grange on her birthday. When she arrives at Mrs. Grange's lodgings, she is surprised to find she isn't the only guest. Mrs. Grange's grand-nephew, Roger, is home from sea for the weekend and he takes her to the dance. For Viv, it is love at first sight, but Roger doesn't seem to share her feelings. Actually Roger did feel the same way, but was worried that Viv loved Tom because of conversations he had overheard at the dance.
