Ceremony Of Anointing
A fake ceremony invented by Atlanta.
The next cockfight duly got underway, and proceeded promptly to its bloody conclusion. When it was over, however, the corpse of the defeated gladiator was not immediately removed. Instead, two huge bloodstained men entered the ring, one bearing a notched machete, the other holding a calabash. Atlanta sat up, registering pleased surprise.
'Oh, good,' said Atlanta. 'The Ceremony of Anointing. I haven't seen this for years.'
'Ceremony?' said Moustache. [WoH Ch14]
