Black silk shirt.  Black trousers.  Black sash.  Black leather boots.  Black satin cape.  Black hat.  Black leather gloves.  Sword belt.  Saber made of the finest Toledo steel.  Knife inherited from his sword master.  Black leather braided whip.

     And the most important item of all - the black silk mask that concealed his identity from one and all.  The alcalde, the lancers, the citizens of the pueblo de Los Angeles.  And most importantly it hid him from the two people who would suffer the most from his masquerade.

    With a sigh, Zorro mounted his black stallion and rode out into the night.
