The Bible says that the children of Ham were to be our servants.

If I were the minister I wouldn't let a nigger into the pulpit.

I wouldn't let him farther than the Sabbath school.' Night fell as we came to the broomy spaces of the links, and ere we had breasted the slope of the neck which separates Kirkcaple Bay from the cliffs it was as dark as an April evening with a full moon can be.

Tam would have had it darker.

He got out his lantern, and after a prodigious waste of matches kindled the candle-end inside, turned the dark shutter, and trotted happily on.
