The setting seems to be in or before the early twentieth century. Firstly, when Captain Torres walked into the barber's shop he was wearing a cartridge studded belt and pistol. Nowadays one does not see Captains wearing belts adorned with bullets. Secondly, the barber was sharpening his shaving blade with a piece of leather, something which one would most commonly see before the mid-twentieth century. Finally, Captain Torres talked about the public executions which had taken place at school. Public executions ceased to be held in the early twentieth century.
