Hanovarians and horses Lazaro Cardenas asked to see Don Rafael. - “What a lovely orchard you have Don Rafael," he said. - “Which orchard are you referring to Mr President?” - “Why the one near the river on the way out of town.” - “Oh Mr President, I am so sorry, but you are mistaken, that avocado orchard is no longer mine, I sold it recently.” - “Oh, did you?” said the President, eyes glittering. Whenever president Lazaro Cardenas, patron saint of the Left in Mexico , saw a piece of land he liked, its owner was forced to sell - well below the market price – as a gesture of (self preserving) good will. Raphael heard the President had stopped off to admire the orchard and so had rushed to sell it off. When Lisa insisted that the Hanoverians had assassinated her mother Carolin’s grandparents, some members of the family disbelieved her, most of them, actually, but it would not surprise me. All rulers are accomplished, land grabbing, cattle thieves, aren't they?
