Readers may have been puzzled to my reference yesterday to the camíno réal. It was, in fact, a reference to Tennessee Williams' play, Camino Real, which I saw about 40 years ago in black-and-white on BBC television. Each part was introduced by "Block One, Block Two etc. On The Camino Real". The "Day One, Day Two etc." of the India story is reminiscent of that tale.
The actual Camíno Réal was the Royal Road established up part of the west coast of the USA under Spanish rule.
