Why don’t some of you educated chaps talk sense into these murderers? What do they think they are going to accomplish?Murdering people who never did them a moment’s harm--and their own people to boot?
[... …] We wish the blacks no ill. But--(Simply, matter-of-factly, a man confirmed)--it is our home, Mr. Morris. (A beat. He looks up, a little embarrassed) I should be grateful if, whatever other impression you may have received, you would try to remember that when you write of the place.
